CryBaby — Mabel Gibson
The latest publication by Night Parrot Press
“I was born a human storm. Emotionally charged from my very first breath of warm September air.”
CryBaby is an incredibly generous and authentic collection of micro memoir that offers a way to honour the layers of our younger selves. Mabel writes people and places that are equally vivid, and grief that is penetrating and honest.
