The book is addressed to the poet's mother, and follows her from illness to death and beyond. Without sentiment, or with little sentiment, or with a wary sentiment the poet tiptoes through the middle of difficult questions, faces his own weakness and in the end puts it all to one side, finally facing the facts of life and death as friends.
A.F. Harrold''s collection is a sequence detailing the illness and death of his mother, but its tone is anything but elegiac. Addressed to the patient, both present and absent, the poems are frank, unflinching and honest. There is love here, but also frustration, bewilderment, confusion and grief. Together the poems explore the spaces where despair, boredom and exhaustion meet, and at their heart describe the difficulty of dying.
