Today, as a FEATURED post, Spillwords Press published a memoir poem I wrote about me and my mother. I’m so excited. Thank you, Spillwords!

This poem is one of 63 poems in my first poetry collection, a poetic memoir of my mother and me. More to come on that!
This is another fine example of your memoir poetry.
I would surmise that your first stanza, specifically the last two lines, could stand as a metaphor for your mother.
“The recipe book
that Mom assembled
in her own hand.
The front cover, missing.
The coffee-stained pages,
some partly dislodged
from the braided wire spine.
Recipes harvested from lineages
stuck together by spilled batter.”
Congratulations, Barb
