Description
2nd Place Winner, The Poetry Box Chapbook Prize, 2019 Hello, Darling explores the relationship of a mother with her daughter struggling with mental health. Christine Higgins shares both the joy and the complexity of childrearing, while paying tribute to an exuberant and creative child. Motherhood doesn't end, but it does change when the daughter dies at the age of seventeen. These poems explore the grief of both parents and what it takes to heal from within that grief. In Hello, Darling, Higgins gives voice to sorrow while holding fast to the love that is essential. Early Praise: "Christine Higgins has, as we Lakota say, written a Death Song that acknowledges when sung, we are always present. This is poetry at its purest and best." -Andrew Brown, The Chugalug King "I read it again and again because I wanted to be beside these poems, to feel their tenderness, their hope, and their deep love." -Kendra Kopelke, Hopper's Women
