Title: Palindrome
Description: "Palindrome, Hansel's sixth collection, is brave and brilliant. The vision of its title{u2014}a word that spells itself in both directions{u2014}infuses the whole with understanding that, as she was her mother's daughter, so she has become mother to the child who is her mother suffering dementia. Whether writing in fixed forms, free forms, or from her mother's written memories, Hansel creates a way to bear her readers, her mother, and herself though this harrowing time. This is a hard-won, heart-won book"--Publisher's website.
