Items related to Domestic Work: Poems
Synopsis
In this debut collection, Natasha Trethewey draws moving domestic portraits of families, past and present, caught in the act of earning a living and managing their households. Small moments taken from a labour-filled day reveal the equally hard emotional work of memory and forgetting, and the extraordinary difficulty of trying to live with or without someone.

Synopsis
A haunting poetry collection depicts extraordinary moments of domestic portraits in labour-filled days - "From sonnets and traditional ballads to free verses shot through with the syncopated attitude of blues, the poems in Domestic Work sing with a muscular luminosity. Here is a young poet in full possession of her craft, ready to testify. To which I say: Can we get an "Amen?" And: Let those voices be heard." - poet and critic, Rita Dove - Still, photographic poems eloquently illuminate intensity of simple motion, and of people trying to keep it all together, both personally and collectively
