maggots, dreams, and lullabies
Like stations in a relay, "Maggots, Dreams and Lullabies " is a series of separate yet related vignettes which follow the life of an unnamed woman from childhood to child's end. The story alternates between past and present tense. The point of view shifts; sometimes told from the sidelines as a detached third person; sometimes as a scene in a movie; sometimes revealed with the intimate details of a confessional poet. The author weaves an intricate tale of the mysterious and powerful forces of love, death and re-birth. Part experimental novel, part confessional, part memoir.
