Nichole Cooley reads new, unpublished poetry about marriage from the view of the wife and mother at the Oxford Conference for the Book on March 21, 2013. The poem exerts feelings of indifference to her "children's empty sippy cups and to the cheap florescent lights" that fill her home and life.
Beth Ann Fennelly listens to Nichole Cooley's poetry reading at the Oxford Conference for the Book, in Oxford, Miss. In this particular moment Cooley is reading "her love letter to the Camellia Grill (a popular 24 hour diner in New Orleans)." In the poem Cooley laments that the Grill's "milkshakes bring all the boys to yard."
