Description
Faulty Mothering by Elaine Randell explores the complexities of mother-child relationships in the face of adversity. Drawing from her work with families, the poems delve into issues such as poverty, mental health problems, substance misuse, and domestic violence, highlighting the resilience of children and young people who adapt to difficult circumstances. The book's 'Song Cycles' are a call-and-response collection, featuring sentences from novels that have resonated with the author. This unique approach adds depth and nuance to the poems, which examine the capacity for human change and growth in the face of adversity. Through her work, Elaine Randell sheds light on the often-overlooked experiences of mothers who struggle to form healthy attachments with their children.
