Description
Poetry. Women's Studies. Jewish Studies. "Much like the paintings of her muse Frida Kahlo, Tamara Zbrizher's poems throb with life force and remind us of the necessity of art. As this poet explores what it means to carry, birth, and raise a child, and what happens to the artist-mother in the process, her boundaries seem to give way. What is a self when it's tethered to others so completely and deeply? Mother, daughter, wife—how many selves are there? Zbrizher asks urgent questions and finds scabs / where home once was. TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD refuses the easy comfort its title implies, instead the poet draws us deep into a new becoming."—Anne Marie Macari
