The Greeting From My Mother

A liturgy, a litany, a laud, THE GREETING FROM MY MOTHER traces the sublime and almost invisible bonds of motherhood, daughterhood and sisterhood over "one hundred years and two world wars." Familial rites and rituals converge in the form of nebulous belief (sometimes objectively, sometimes as metonymy). Images whisper by, like rosary beads, pointing to an underlying message, a personal conclusion: the specifics are secondary, it is in reverence and repetition that salvation can be found, that an anchor can be grasped, that a weather candle can be lit.
