Review # 1 was written on 2011-03-23 00:00:00 Rachele Fortier I've been reading poems aloud to my baby while breastfeeding. Poetry about motherhood seemed appropriate. This book has some memorable poems. Possibly too memorable. Warning: do not read Jane Shore's poem Solomon's Sword, in which a mother tries to breastfeed her dead infant while you are actually breastfeeding your baby, unless you WANT nightmares.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-12-16 00:00:00 Chuck Wells I picked this up because I wanted to read poetry related to motherhood in honor of Mother's Day. I had no idea there were so many poems out there on the topic of motherhood. I enjoyed reading these works.
