Description
Candles in My Head rips the cover off a woman’s experience of family life to expose the turbulent undercurrents hidden beneath the placid family portrait. Here is a poet exploring daily life with a magnifying glass, revealing shades of what remains out of sight the way an ultrasound reveals what lies within.
