Latch: Poems by Jen Grace Stewart

$7.00

“When the speaker in these poems shares some of the most private moments of praying to conceive and nursing in the night, the language is surprising, taking us far from stereotypes of motherhood and into something true. I know that I will return to nest in the words of these poems for years to come.”

—Katie Manning, author of
Tasty Other and The Gospel of the Bleeding Woman

 

“From the heavy shadows that infertility invokes, to the fierce, fearful latch of child to mother to world, Jen Stewart Fueston’s collection attends with fresh, lyric precision to the bodies and minds of mothers across time.”

—Sally Rosen Kindred, author of
Book of Asters and No Eden
