Description
Fruitcake brings together four poem sequences about motherhood, exploring love, happiness, and the challenges of young parenthood. These poems, written by Selima Hill, offer a unique perspective on the complexities of human experience.
With startling humor and surprising combinations of homely and outlandish language, Hill charts her own extreme experiences with motherhood in a dazzling excess. This collection is a powerful exploration of the impact of Asperger's syndrome on both mother and child.
Published to critical acclaim, Fruitcake is a thought-provoking and deeply personal work that will resonate with anyone who has ever known the joys and challenges of family life.
