  • Adrie Rose skillfully uses a variety of forms to embody the daily challenges of mothering. She uses a questionnaire for parents of disabled children to explore the real, the ridiculous, the insulting and the heartbreaking questions that are asked, culminating with “Have you tried blaming yourself?” A conversational dialectic uses found language for one of the voices to wonder about a teenager who is cutting and the limits of a mother's devotion.
