You better be sitting down when you read Heather Brown Barrett's Water in Every Room because these poems will knock you off your feet-the imaginative and emotive energy crackles on every page as she writes about her metamorphosis into motherhood and the son she loves from bottomless depths. Oh come / be our child, wind of change, Barrett cries in Blue Moon, a resounding Yes to the stirring inside that will bloom her son and the water trail of poems that follow in myriad forms and styles such as haibun and ekphrasis. In Growing a Mother she writes, Tender words shook my bones / loose, rattled like seeds / in a coffee tin, and they will shake you too in words that, like a churning ocean in our chests, let us recognize our human capacity for sacrifice and transformation.
