Making Progress - Paperback

by Janet Bowdan (Author)

Bowdan's poems pay attention to behaviors we may not want to notice of ourselves, woven with humor and affection into the story of her blended family against a backdrop of society's evolving expectations of girl, woman, wife and mother. With the girl who walks into and out of a cave, with the passenger on a cruise where the captain jumps ship, we investigate how imagination and fear, love and pride change the options we thought we had.
