Gallery: Poems from the Motherscape
|
My experience of discovering the anonymous tired mother in a tintype inspired me to write an ekphrastic poem detailing the image itself, and my reaction to this fortuitous find. I was then inspired to write more poetry in which I explored my (often painful) personal experiences and memories of motherhood and motherwork. Some, but not all, of the poems in this collection correspond directly to pieces in the exhibition. Click here to read all the poems.
