Mother said
poems
by Hal Sirowitz
For anyone who has ever had a mother - and that includes most of us - or is a mother (one way or another), Hal Sirowitz's poetry speaks the truth. About families, about relationships. Written in mother vernacular, these poems have the ring of adult nursery rhymes, with a tinge of horror and a ton of humor. Think Philip Larkin inspired by Norman Bates, or the Brothers Grimm of pop poetry. Think, think, think ... of your own mother.
Or, if you are a mother, think of yourself Sirowitz's poems are deceptively simple, achingly familiar, brutally funny. Mother Said is the Mother of all poetry. Read it and laugh. Read it and weep.
