Tiny Coffins is an experimental memoir/novella inspired by a mother's battle with Parkinson's Disease. It explores truth and memory, sickness and decay, and collectively, explores the complex nature of a mother/daughter relationship. Raw, visceral, and poetically charged, Tiny Coffins treats each page as just a tiny coffin of memory and of grief.
