Bad Daughter

bySarah Gorham

Paperback

Price: $15.95

Overview

Bad Daughter explores misbehavior–its risky pleasures and often tragic consequences–through poems about “bad” daughters, sisters, and their mothers. What happens to the sister who obeys? What if a daughter refuses her inheritance? Can she? What sanctuary and what limits do worship and domesticity provide? Gorham adopts several lyric forms–‘morality tales, ‘ ironic prayers, scaled-down sonnets, sharp meditations on concepts such as envy, detachment, and immortality–to show that the self as forged by generations of women and girls is both subversive and enduring.
