Bad Daughter
“The clear-eyed poems of Sarabande Books publisher Gorham's fourth collection of poems charts the sometimes transcendent, sometimes terrifying, often uneasy spaces that open between mothers and daughters who then become mothers themselves. ...”—Publishers WeeklyIn her fourth collection, Gorham (The Cure) writes about life-changing events (the birth of a daughter) as well as ordinary ones (lost mittens) in language both musical and precise. ... Throughout, Gorham leaps among subjects, her unexpected trajectories reminiscent of Emily Dickinson’s work.  A wonderful collection, not to be missed, that offers both serious and humorous insights into the human condition.—Library Journal
