The Wrong Place attempts to answer the question: How does a mother cope when her worst nightmare comes true? This collection of poems and essays chronicles the author’s journey alongside her young son as he is diagnosed and treated for a rare cancer. Readers follow the family as they learn the vocabulary of cancer, develop a new way of parenting, and grieve the loss of their son’s innocence. The family navigates endless medical procedures and hospital stays while seeking to maintain a sense of themselves outside of “cancer world.” Throughout, the author relies on humor and hope to pull her through.
A native and resident of Indianapolis, Parent has been a professional writer and editor for 30 years. Her poetry and essays have appeared in Tipton Poetry Journal, Home Planet News Online, Anti-Heroin Chic, Last Stanza Poetry Journal, and Nzuri. She has worked for various business publications, and also served as proofreader for two books.
