Abstract
On the Phone with My Mother considers intimacy and its antagonists: technology, physical and temporal distance, and mental disorders and diseases. Landscapes and geographies, mostly of the North American East Coast and Ireland, as well as photographs and domestic objects, provide occasions for the speaker's explorations of family and its matrilineal history.
