Mid-Bloom

Beschreibung

Mid-Bloom is one woman's exploration of grief, illness, and survival as she faces a breast cancer diagnosis. Having lost her mother to cancer two decades prior, author Katie Budris is forced to confront that loss again as her own treatment unearths a deep longing to connect with her late mother. Through a loosely chronological structure, these poems invoke nostalgia through childhood memories and use nature-centered imagery to guide the reader through some of her most difficult experiences. Described by Abbey J. Porter of Mad Poets Society as "accessible poems... with a quiet ferocity," Budris taps into the difficult realities of adulthood and mortality we all must face.
