The Hundredth Hour

The Hundredth Hour explores the experience of becoming a mother, in all of its delirium, joy, magic and brutality. The poems are both heartfelt and absurd, particular and universal. They both describe and embody the deep weirdness of suddenly arriving on the strange planet that is parenthood, where the socks will never match, the hours both race and stall, and a kind of unhinged love sets up shop at the center of one's self, changing us for better, for worse, forever.
