Chlorine Gardens GN (MR) WYND 1 8/24/22 London 29th August 2004Keiler Roberts doesn't do slice of life; she gives you the whole pie. Dealing with pregnancy, child rearing, art making, mental illness, and an MS diagnosis, the parts of Chlorine Gardens' sum sound heavy, but Keiler Roberts' gift is the deft drollness in which she presents life's darker moments. She doesn't whistle past graveyards, but rather finds the punch line in the pitiful.
