Our Lively Kingdom is a poetry collection in four parts, navigating love, children, art, and death.
Poetry. Women's Studies. AFTER THAT addresses the complicated emotions and confusion in caring for parents with advanced dementia, while also examining the psyche of the caregiver--the former child--entering her own senior years.
