Description
Deborah Garrison's "The Second Child" is a poignant exploration of family and motherhood in a rapidly changing world. This collection of poems delves into the complexities of ambivalence, trepidation, and joy, as Garrison navigates her own post-9/11 fears and seeks to find passion in her marriage. Through her candid and often sensual writing, Garrison examines the everyday moments that reveal the extraordinariness of life - from nursing babies to missing the past. With a voice both sound and wise, she meditates on the intricacies of parenting and the importance of knowing when to lead and when to let go. This new collection marks a significant stage in Garrison's writing journey, as she moves into adulthood and says goodbye to a more carefree self.
