“You get tough when you grow up unloved. People described me as a boyish girl - rather shy, but I didn't show it. I had an attitude. I was rather wild.

“What does it mean to be a used white wife, a mother, a tragic girl writing poems? Sandra Simonds gets into these messy words and then tears them apart. Sometimes with the words of others. And sometimes with poems made from scratch. They aren't all bad, these words. But they aren't all good either. And that is where Mother was a Tragic Girl gets its power. You will at moments be laughing but then you will also at moments just as much be crying. If Antigone was alive and decided to write some poems about the nuclear family, she would write them like Sandra Simonds. These are tough.” IfsWritingMeanDoeMadeSometimesMomentsUsedMotherGirlWhiteLaughingAliveWifeCryTearsToughDecidedNuclearTragicScratchesMessyAntigoneWriting PoemsNuclear Families Author:Juliana Spahr
