Reclaiming the Nectar and the Hum
is a love letter to all daughters. It is an instruction manual on surviving complicated, unhappy mothers. It is a lament and a lullaby. It is a mother's guide to loss, an inquiry into generational mysteries, and a song cycle of transformation.
Peg writes with honesty and humor illuminating the hard work of being a daughter, a mother, a woman. Her work is deeply personal and raises up the potential of the smallest things to bring us back to intimate connection with the world. These poems are gentle and loving, angry and clear.
