Pierced with joy, with music and sweat, traffic and smoke, the collection layers family dynamics, gender roles, and the pain and pleasure of the speaker's body, while drawing a living, lyric line between the \"gone mother\" and daughter. These poems are the fiercely loving, grieving, sexual, and always-processing songs for the grown children of mothers living in a world that takes without asking. In the keen, interwoven contexts of grief, physical pain, and lyric poetry, Vangani's \u003ci\u003eFifty Mothers\u003c\/i\u003e considers the variety of the phenomenal world and discovers in its living wake an abundance of taste, touch, and mothers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Preeti Vangani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e River River Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/23\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.88h x 5.84w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798988137894\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eVangani, Preeti:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003ePreeti Vangani is an Indian poet and writer based in San Francisco.
