Writer - Poetry - Family life
A mother tries to reconcile her profession as a poet with her duties toward
her family. The prosaic nature of everyday life (lost socks, unbalanced
household accounts, scorched pans, etc.) which 
she takes as her subject matter leads to a fruitful dialogue about the issues
of poetry. And yet there is a need for inspiration. »Inspiration is when I 
get no lunch«, comments the young son, in this thoroughly original and
humorous contribution to a discussion of the nature of poetry writing.
