Pouf

This chapbook is a collection of monologue poems in the voice of Aunt Mary, an Italian woman with one foot in America and one foot in Italy. She is in a nursing home but does not have dementia other than a couple of hours a day she suffers from Sundowers. During those times, she thinks she's at home, in a hotel, a motel or anything on television is in real time and happening to her family. Her niece can become her mother, her son a doctor. The poems are humorous, but there is an underlying current of what it's like to be in a nursing home.
