解説
It is rare to find a collection so grounded in the manifold meanings of motherhood-in all its anxiety, ambivalence, and joy. From the aches and fears of pregnancy, through the pain and relief of childbirth, to the perplexing questions and worries of parenting, Rebekah Denison Hewitt grapples with what it is to make a human (and to sometimes lose one), "the baby a creature / in bloom / the mother / a lotus eater."
Closing with the counsel "Do not be afraid. / Rinse your heart out. Proceed," these poems give readers many reasons to fear-health issues, genetic deformities, postpartum depression, gun violence, and car accidents. Yet always lurking underneath are light, optimism, and a stubborn willingness to soldier on. Celebrating the stories, myths, and personal histories that shape the experience of modern motherhood, Creature in Bloom expands the conversation around what it means to be a mother.
