Description
The Long Devotion: A Collection of Poetry and Essays on Motherhood This anthology celebrates the complexities of motherhood through poetry, essays, and writing prompts. It creates a space for mothers to share their unvarnished experiences without apology. The contributors bring diverse perspectives to the table, including step-parenting, infertility, parenting across different racial backgrounds, adoption, foster care, ambivalence about motherhood, and navigating chronic illness, mental health, and disability. This rich range of voices offers a nuanced understanding of our current moment and encourages women to engage with their own stories. By amplifying women's voices on the joys and challenges of motherhood, this collection contributes to vital conversations about family life and promotes a more inclusive representation of mothers' experiences.
