Most people wanted their grief on display, held like a baby by the people around them. They wanted their pain to be reflected. But Mano couldn't stomach the idea of any priest saying things about his mother. No priest knew his mother. Death, Mano thought, was no time for introductions.
Zachary Schomburg, Mammother
For her, empty rooms meant the world was ending, but for Mano empty rooms like this one made the world feel like it was on its first page. Mano knew love now. It was just hope made visible.
Zachary Schomburg, Mammother
When he walked a complete circle through the square of their house, it was like walking through the season of a whole year -- the green spring of the living room, the hot red summer of the bathroom, the golden autumn where he slept, and the white cold winter of the kitchen. To be in a room was to be somewhere in a year.
Zachary Schomburg, Mammother
"Mammother" Book Tour
Renowned poet Zachary Schomburg, author of Scary, No Scary and three other books of poetry, is touring with his debut novel Mammother (Featherproof Books, 2017)!
In Mammother, the people of Pie Time are suffering from God’s Finger, a mysterious plague that leaves something inside a death hole in each victim's chest. With a large cast of characters, each struggling with their own tangled relationships to death, money, and love, Mammother is a fabulist tale of holding on and letting go in a rapidly growing world.

a really badly lit photo of something I did last night. I couldn’t find my watercolours in all my trash so i had to use colouring pencils - which I am awful at using.
I was thinking about Zachary Schomburg’s Mammother at the time so this happened
