HYBRID POEM-MEMOIR

Tuscaloosa Grief Factory is a beautifully crafted exploration of loss, motherhood, and personal reinvention via this hybrid poem-memoir. A.M. O'Malley navigates the death of her mother, the birth of her child, and a move to a small Alabama town where she is a stranger in every sense.

With a narrative that braids the emotional and physical landscapes of her life—steeped in haunting memories, thoughts, and dreams, amidst a setting of old trees, relentless heat, loose dogs, nervous breakdowns, and fragile moments of clarity—O'Malley delivers a story of grief and resilience. Darkly humorous, at times raw and daring, this work offers an unexpected journey through both personal turmoil and the strange, everyday beauty of life.

“I learned the difference between the sound of a firework and the sound of a gunshot by moving to a thin-walled shack in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Mid-summer in the Dirty South, flared and flattened and squashed like a spent cherry bomb.”
