Description
"Enter the Chrysanthemum" is a luminous collection that takes us on a keen-eyed journey from childhood to parenthood: from a child's perspective of her parents, through to the transition to adulthood as a single parent, then finally to the witnessing of a parent's decline and death. Lam details the slow and sometimes painful transformation into motherhood, the transition of generations, the inherent politics behind relationships, and the essential solitude and struggle of being outside the traditionally defined family. Lam's new collection is fundamentally as much an exploration of profound loss as it is of love and an individual's reconnection to humanity. "Enter the Chrysanthemum" is her second book of poetry.
