Description
Poetry. Women's Studies. AFTER THAT addresses the complicated emotions and confusion in caring for parents with advanced dementia, while also examining the psyche of the caregiver—the former child—entering her own senior years.
"Featuring meditations on Nancy Drew and confrontations with dementia, AFTER THAT is a book of poignant surprises and connections. This collection moves beautifully through several territories, not only because Aguero's craft is exacting, but because of the relationships she establishes between poems, which make the reading all the more rich. I want a book to invite my engagement then demand it. This one does that."—Tim Seibles
