Mead's thoughts about childhood, and the carry over into her current life takes so many different forms. The lurking male figure, though, doesn't feel gratuitous. These poems come from a very dark space, and it is evident in every one of the poems. They emerge. And what Mead manages in poems like "Notes Toward a Definition" and "Rather a Pale Occasion for Flowers" is actually think through those moments of darkness.
