Blood Music - Paperback

by Emily Hockaday (Author)

In Emily Hockaday's BLOOD MUSIC you'll journey to the Mariana trench, blueberry fields, the edges of our galaxy, the delivery room, the deathbed, and the streets of New York. Within the book, we follow an expectant mother through pregnancy and childbirth as her father receives a terminal diagnosis and a sibling struggles with addiction. These poems explore the parallels and conflicts that arise when a family faces these different life stages. But mainly the poems examine love's role when the body fails, grows, or changes.
