Of a Mother enters the strange time-space continuum of grief that is terminal illness, exploring a mother's death from cancer and a daughter's ways of coping. In this linear set of poems, everyday objects like pincushions, dressing gowns, and perfumes become relics, sponge baths, cool drinks, and hand lotion become sacred offerings, the living mother and the cremation urn are superimposed, leaving the bereaved at a crossroads: how to live without a parent.
