In the Truth Room by Dana Roeser

4.0

Addicting, haunting! Roeser's poems flow as coherently as lyrics and as disturbingly as a dream. Included in this collection are her notable works, "Midwestern Summer: My Dead Mother as Muse," and "Mudcap." My personal favorites include "Invisible Men," "Terminal," and the title poem. Roeser revisits the themes of her mother's death, her job loss, her travel memories, and her relationships with her daughters, friends, and spouse, throughout her works. It was delightful reading In the Truth Room.
