Bough Down is a like a fractured orb and the author uses pieces to capture the light, sorrow, and details of living. At times the mixed media art pieces/text fragments felt closer to the experiences she was describing in the lyric, which reinforces the interplay between forms that she renders in this work.
This is a hardcore, honest and well-written book. It deals with Green's husband's suicide, some of what happened before that, during and afterwards. It's a painful and beautiful read, filled with trinkets of their life, their love and her anguish. Her delirium, her heart and her rationale is spilled out onto the pages, on which you can also read of her longing for him back. And of her picking her life up and putting herself back together, with The Support People. Added is her visual poetry as well, cut-ups from everywhere.… (plus d'informations)

I want him pissed off at politicians, ill at ease, trying to manipulate me into doing favors for him I would do anyway. I want him looking for his glasses, trying not to come, doing the dumb verb of journaling, getting spinach caught between canine and gum, berating my logorrhea, or my not staying mum. I don't want him at peace" (34).
