My Limbs a Cradle, my Whisper a Song explores motherhood and loss through poems that delve into the difficulties of raising infant twins while losing a parent to dementia. The journey begins with the surprise of discovering a twin pregnancy and takes readers through the milestones of infants, the changing terrain of a spousal relationship, and the grief inherent in caring for a mother who is losing her faculties to dementia. Parent/child relationships reverse and transform as the poet learns how to mother through the slow loss of her own mother and her memories.
