Watching Mother Disappear is a lyrical collection illuminating emotional and psychological subtleties. The long, deeply personal title poem speaks to the emotional and psychological complexities of caring for a parent suffering from Alzheimer's. The collection continues with poems that explore other relationships and experiences, engage in flights of fancy, and meditate on finite time and the precariousness of the world we now inhabit.
