Little Mother is a book of poems that reads like a novel. “A moving account of the author’s redemptive journey from caretaker and troubled daughter to mother of her own children,” writes Susan Glickman. Here are women’s stories, poems that touch the light and dark side of mothering, a pregnancy journal that recounts the joy and discomfort of having a watermelon belly soon-to-be-baby, (the “body landscape, miracle drumlin”). Demeter, Madonna or Kali, the “woman with too many poems in her hair/can never get enough blue sky”. The poem “Purdah” from the book is recorded on the mini-CD Holding the Song.
