terrible wonder of mothering, with mothers and children coming against sharp edges of domestic routine and daily life that can and do cut. The expansive imagery is as relatable as it is punishing, balanced by the mother's desire to soften reality for the child. There is a brutality and awe to everyday existence for mother and child that she does not shy away from.
-Nina A. Forsberg, former associate editor of Skipping Stones magazine and editor of several academic journals
Emily Reid Green's work is brutal, raw, beautiful, and funny. How do you juggle the joy of mothering when your nerves are on fire? One poem at a time.
-Lorette C. Luzajic, editor, The Ekphrastic Review
Mothering approaches the concept of motherhood from a point of pain and pain relief.
The sincerity in these pages is like a hug for your heart and made me want to call my mother after reading it.
-Azriel Johnson, director of Writing Knights Press, author of Poemaholic
