A beautifully illustrated edition of Poet Laureate Joy Harjos poem Washing My Mothers Body, which offers a way through grief when the loss appears unbearable. nAs I wash my mothers face, I tell her nhow beautiful she is, how brave, how her beauty and bravery nlive on in her grandchildren. Her face is relaxed, peaceful. nHer earth memory body has not left yet, nbut when I see her the next day, embalmed and in the casket nin the funeral home, it will be gone. nWhere does it go? n nThrough lyrical prose and evocative watercolor illustrations by award-winning Muscogee artist Dana Tiger, Washing My Mothers Body explores the complexity of a daughters grief as she reflects on the joys and sorrows of her mothers life. She lays her mother to rest in the landscape of her memory, honoring the hands that raised her, the body that protected her, and the legs that carried her mother through adversity. n nMoving, comforting, and deeply emotional, Washing My Mothers Body is a tender look at mother-daughter relationships, the complexity of grieving the loss of a parent, and the enduring love of those left behind.n
