The prose poems of The Mothers are a simultaneous ode and elegy to mothering and being mothered(or sometimes grandmothered), to mothering stymied and heightened by scarcity and disability, mothering both more haunting and more beautiful than the shortest, longest, so hard but you've got to love it right? Using nature analogies and fairy tales tropes, these poems depict motherhood as the conservation of mass at all costs, motherhood when things do not go as planned, motherhood as a desperate attempt to feed and be fed, to eat and be eaten.
