If Mother Braids a Waterfall

By Dayna Patterson

Dayna Patterson has produced a book obsessed with motherhood and daughterhood, ancestry, and transition--of home, family, faith, and the narratives woven to uphold the Self. In her debut collection of poetry and lyric essay, Patterson grapples with a patriarchal and polygamous heritage. After learning about her mother's bisexuality, Patterson befriends doubt while simultaneously feeling the urge to unearth a feminist theology, one that envisions God the Mother taking pride in her place at the banquet table.
