Description
(M)othering is an anthology that explores the complexities of motherhood and the act of becoming something unexpected. This collection features 56 contributors who share their experiences, writing and art that delve into themes of transformation, love, loss, identity, trauma, and self-discovery. The writers and artists in this book tackle a range of topics, including trans-generational trauma, adoption, abortion, addiction, and the intersections of motherhood with queerness, Indigenous identity, and other forms of marginalization. Their work offers a nuanced and multifaceted exploration of what it means to be a mother, to create, to love, and to suffer loss. Through their writing and art, these contributors challenge traditional notions of motherhood and offer a powerful and moving portrayal of the complexities and beauty of this universal human experience.
