Thomas's lyrical poetry explores aspects of the unique relationship between a mother and a daughter. The many moods of the subject matter range liberally among topics from the cradle to the grave. The poems occasionally dip into sentimentality or go for cheap effect, but overall the quality is high in this slight volume whose format, arranged for two voices, invites participation.
