A work of profound emotional intensity, Look at Everything Twice, For Me is a dramatic poem by Australian author Craig Sherborne that chronicles the devastating experience of losing a parent, rendered through the raw and unflinching lens of verse. Sherborne presents grief not as a quiet, private sorrow but as a visceral, consuming force, capturing the disorientation and love that accompany a mother's decline and death. Written with the precision and economy of poetry yet the narrative sweep of memoir, the work illustrates how language itself can become both a vessel for mourning and an act of devotion. The tone is elegiac yet fiercely alive, marked by Sherborne's characteristically bold and unsentimentalized voice, which refuses easy consolation in favor of honest, searching witness. This dramatic poem stands as a deeply personal testament to the bonds between parent and child, and to the enduring power of art to hold what life takes away.
