Playing The Part: Collected Poems

In Playing the Part the writer's uncompromising gaze takes in difficult realities of relationships: children and parents, parents and children, partners caught by conflicting expectations. While the first part renders ambivalence and alienation as a darker side of family, later poems take the reader from the drama of domestic life to an expanded sense of possibility. The world opens beyond family constraints and Playing the Part becomes a story of transformations, with connection replacing isolation and new roles supplanting old ones.
