Beschreibung:
Sarah Williams-Devereux is a poet, artist, and educator from Pittsburgh, PA. Her work has appeared in multiple avenues, including journals, anthologies, radio, and public art projects. She teaches poetry for the Madwomen in the Attic program at Carlow University in Pittsburgh, PA. Certified in transformative language arts foundations from the Transformative Language Arts Network, she is an apprentice training instructor for Amherst Writers & Artists and received her MA in teaching writing from Johns Hopkins University. She also has an extensive background in social justice philanthropy, art education, and museum education.
Of a Mother enters the strange time-space continuum of grief that is terminal illness, exploring a mother's death from cancer and a daughter's ways of coping. In this linear set of poems, everyday objects like pincushions, dressing gowns, and perfumes become relics; sponge baths, cool drinks, and hand lotion become sacred offerings; the living mother and the cremation urn are superimposed, leaving the bereaved at a crossroads: how to live without a parent.
