Mammother

Featherproof Books

The people of Pie Time are suffering from God’s Finger, a mysterious plague that leaves its victims dead with a big hole through their chests. In each hole is a random consumer product. With a large cast of unusual characters, each struggling with their own complex and tangled relationships to death, money, and love, Mammother is a fabulist’s tale of how we hold on and how we let go in a rapidly growing world. Schomburg is the author of four books of poetry including Scary, No Scary and The Book of Joshua.
