by Nicole Cooley (Author)
In this cool, manifold chronicle of motherhood, Nicole Cooley tackles the experience of creation, occupying a new vernacular of love within danger. Her poems--animate self-reflections of both merged bodies and violent separation--confront the turbulence of fear and safety.
