All My Pretty Ones
A father and a mother die within three months of each other and the daughter is left sorting the scrapbook, the diary, the boxes of hoarded photographs of people she cannot name. Poems on an abortion, on an operation, on Van Gogh's night sky where the town does not exist, work outward from a grief that keeps turning into an accusation. Her second collection, taking its title from Macduff's cry over his murdered household.
