Many artists often decry their early work. They may either try to destroy it or spend valuable time agonizing over it. I’m among the latter and have been thinking about a revised edition of It’s Mother’s Day for many years. When Cyberwit Press offered to publish the work I was extremely pleased. In 1996, at that particular juncture in my life, the publication of the first edition represented an expansion in my tone, vision and voice. I had recently left San Francisco, my home for 20
years, and was caring for my mother in her waning years. The ‘writer’s block’ – Read: personal upheaval that had inhibited my commitment to writing for many years seemed to have passed. In its place was born a determination to begin again.
