Her poems range from the intimate details of motherhood to the universal experiences of parenting; the dynamics of multiracial families to parenting black children; and the ingrained social hierarchy which places the black mother at the bottom. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHomer forces us to reckon with the truth that no one-not even the mother-is unbiased.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNicole Homer is an Associate Professor of English at a community college in Central New Jersey.
