My name is Pickle is about a little girl and the things she loves. As she goes through life she encounters a bundle of firsts, with imagination, excitement, and giggles. She is filled with love, laughter, and surprises. She will snuggle right into your heart. She has magic in her smile and the things she loves are things I bet you love, too. My name is Denise or Nina to some. I am a retired educator, wife, mother to four adult children, grandmother, and great-grandmother. I am an only child and I grew up in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. I graduated from John Marshall High School and then went to Oklahoma State University where I earned an elementary education degree and a master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction as well as an administrator's certificate. I taught school for 14 years in Oklahoma, California, and Virginia. My next 30 years in education were at the Oklahoma Technical Assistance Center where I later became the Assistant Director. The center provided technical assistance and evaluation services to all schools in Oklahoma. I was inspired to write this story by my daughter who was nicknamed Pickle. She loved everything, especially pickles. This story brings back so many happy memories of childhood innocence, joy, imagination, and the unconditional love that children give so willingly as they meet each day with anticipation and excitement.

"A moving meditation on grief and motherhood by one of Britain's most celebrated poets. Say Something Back will allow readers to see just why Denise Riley has been held in such high regard by her fellow poets for so long. The book reproduces A Part Song, a profoundly moving document of grieving and loss, and one of the most widely admired long poems of recent years. Elsewhere these poems become a space for contemplation of the natural world and of physical law, and for considering what it is to invoke those who are absent. But finally, they extend our sense of what the act of human speech can mean--and especially what is drawn forth from us when we address our dead. Lyric, intimate, acidly witty, unflinchingly brave, Say Something Back--which also includes a powerful new prose meditation about grief and its aftermath, "Time Lived, Without Its Flow"--is a deeply moving book by one of our finest poets, and one destined to introduce Riley's name to a wide new readership"--

A brilliant outing from one of the finest poets currently working in the English language. This is at once a sharply political and deeply personal book which explores just that intersection.'Wide-ranging, sometimes anguished, her poems are fascinating and often beautiful, and certainly more than usually thought-provoking' Guardian

In this extended meditation on the language of the self within contemporary social politics, the author ponders the question: What does it matter what you say about yourself? She studies why the requirement to be a something-or-other should be so hard to satisfy in a manner that rings true in the ears of its own subject.

Writing about changes in the notion of womanhood, Denise Riley examines, in the manner of Foucault, shifting historical constructions of the category of "women" in relation to other categories central to concepts of personhood: the soul, the mind, the body, nature, the social.
