Starter Mothers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798888383315)

Starter Mothers courts the possibility of extinction and the tenacity of the life-force, both biologically and emotionally. The fullness of life-art, religion, nature, grief, fertility, and the resilience of the human spirit-is on display in these oftentimes spiritual poems that are written with humor, compassion, and moral outrage. Along the way, you will meet spiders, queen bees, rabbis, rabble-rousers-and yes, even starter mothers.The title poem received an award from Oberon Poetry Magazine.
