About Inflorescence:

"In her second book, Sarah Hannah confronts the monumental task of distilling the experience of her mother's terminal illness into a sequence of poems dense with meaning and musics. . . In the title poem, the final gasp of intimate terror is a rare, truly authentic moment in our contemporary poetry—stunning!"
