Poetry isn’t usually my jam. But, this is a quick read that can be as light or as deep as you make it. As a mother, there are so many emotions that rapidly fluctuate, from love to loneliness, and these short poems capture that. There were two stanzas in particular that I felt put into words how I feel as a mother myself:

“My body,
like my heart,
softens.”

And

“Where is my center now,
having been swept away in you.”

Special thanks to NetGalley and She Writes for this ARC in exchange for my honest review :)

Absolutely beautiful! Wish it was longer!
As a mother to a 10 year old, it brought me right back to the first days and the roller coaster of emotions and feeling so alone and lost. It’s nice to see I wasn’t alone in my thoughts.
I will definitely be recommending to moms to be and new moms!!

As a mother of 2 I could full relate to these poems. Definitely made me miss having little babies. Beautiful set of poems.

Beautiful words that had me crying with every page. as a first time mom of 2 this book made me feel that my emotions are real, valid and shared by so many. Will definitely be purchasing for other mommy friends!
