Motherland

By Shannon J. Curtin

Motherland is an examination of mothers, mothering, and impending motherhood. The majority of the poems in Motherland were penned in a wavering, wondering hand of a woman navigating her first pregnancy. These poems ask questions of the future and reflect on the past, they are a fervent search for instruction, for meaning, in the stories of mothers, grandmothers, and other mothers. An accessible and enjoyable collection, Motherland is at times sweet, anxious, dark, joy filled and raw. In essence, it's much like motherhood itself.
