Inhaltsangabe

In this lyric memoir, Mark Rudman explores his close but often fractious relationship with his mother, and presents a companion volume to his award-winning book Rider, which concerns his relationship with his rabbi stepfather. Sundays on the Phone centers on the poet's weekly Sunday morning phone calls from his mother and builds on the verse narrative that defines Rudman's unique role in twenty-first century poetry. These dialogues, both real and imagined, as well as the surrounding poems, are attuned to the emotional reverberations in every exchange between mother and son. We witness the brutal tensions in their relationship and their wit and passion. From the first pages, in which Rudman revisits his childhood and his memories of adjusting to his mother's second marriage, to the final pages, in which he slowly comes to terms with his mother's death, this is a compassionate and compelling portrait.
