The Language of Mothers is a lyrical weaving of Wright’ s matrilineal line of women’ s stories from grandmother to daughters that stretch from Dronfield, England, to Honolulu, Hawaii. Wright daringly insists on bringing domestic abuse and mental health narratives to light. The Language of Mothers calls forward generations of women’ s voices, telling her mother’ s stories of England and survival, her stories as a teenage mother, narratives of escaping domestic trauma, and the language of poetry that illuminates struggles with mental health that should never live in shame.
