| Publisher Description: What to Do With Baby Ashes is a chapbook with 39 poems on grief, fertility, motherhood, feminism, and nature. Join the poet as she grows up, copes with trauma, processes loss, and deals with the unexpected. This book is for you "if you have a baby, if you've lost your babies, if one day you might want a baby (or not), if you'd rather skip the pregnancy or baby stages and foster a ten year old, if you aren't trying to conceive or if you've taken Clomid three cycles, if you've been referred to the reproductive endocrinologist, if your in-laws told your realtor about your loss and she says, 'You'll be a mom one day.' If you want to slap the face of anyone who says that, because if you feel like dying while holding your baby's body how are you not a mom already? If on Mother's Day there is no word for a mother without a child, this book is for you; I see you." |
