Mother in Objects – A Folio of Prose and Poetry

Our latest Mother Figures folio depicts how objects evoke the mother: our writers explore, in prose and poetry, concrete representations of the essence of a remembered parent.

Karren Alenier – Granddaughter Clara Spera explores Bubbie Ruth’s big closet
Sarah W. Bartlett – Linen Hankies
Patricia Carragon – i’ve put on my mother’s shoes
Jessica Feder-Birnbaum – If the Shoe Fits
Linda Lamenza – My Inheritance
Deborah LeFalle – Haiku
José Edmundo Ocampo Reyes – Poem with the Yellow Pages and Rotary Phone
Martha Webster – The Mourner’s Office
