Gloria Steele-Hatten

Expectation. Propriety. Property. Honor. Devotion. Conflicted loyalty. Infidelity. Self-assertion. Social limitations…. These are all concepts explored and tackled in this collection. These poems address this woman’s mind, her mental states, descending and maybe getting a chance at re-ascending through this template of a life, this incredible subversively woven tale of loss and redemption, and the reconciliation of motherhood and marriage through a son's death resonating with so many modern women’s experiences
