"More than a guide to a holistic, healthy
pregnancy; it's a confessional, a warning,
and a roadmap for navigating the rewarding,
relentless terrain of motherhood." No, it is
not for the faint-hearted. But if you are a
mom, have friends who are new or expectant
mothers, or if you work with pregnant women,
this is 33 pages of advice that most of us
never got about motherhood.
And while you're visiting, do look around.
We've added an audio file of me reading my
piece from the anthology,
Go, Tell Michelle, a new mothertongue
piece, and links to new poems.
Hope you enjoy all the new offerings. one
love, ekere
