Mom Egg Review 13: Vol. 13

By Marjorie Tesser

For mothers long on love for reading and short on time, a unique collection about being a mother and also being a daughter, partner, worker, artist. Mom Egg Review contains short fiction, poetry, and creative non-fiction by the best mother writers from around the world, and by others writing about motherhood. - A young mother conceals her anxieties about a new pregnancy. - A Caucasian mother fears for her mixed-race child. - A toddler who'd become enamored of "no" learns "yes". - A poet recalls her grandmother's love and lessons. At the heart of the issue is a special poetry folio themed Compassionate Action. In a world barraged with images of violence, injustice, and suffering, frustration can lead to despair and feelings of powerlessness. The poems in this section inspire compassionate action, both at home and in the world, a model and a roadmap to empowerment in urgent circumstances. Mom Egg Review can be read through or dipped into; it is a collection to read, re-read and share. Spend time with mothers from around the world who offer keen insights on day-to-day and extraordinary activities of motherhood, and inspiration for connecting to our creative, compassionate selves.
