Written after the unexpected death of her mother, Michelle Meyer's The Trouble with Being a Childless Only Child takes root in the body, exploring loss and trauma along with the sexual and social dynamics of one woman's place among men. Part epistolary and part memoir, Meyer questions her own role in creating the boundaries that defined her mother's life while reaching, often in vain, for clarity through the fog of loss. Serving as both tribute and penance, each poem is a funeral song versed with longing, and ultimately hope, for spiritual release.
