<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"With a variety of forms and modes, these poems unpack the experiences of a fat, black woman's body while also manifesting joy, resistance, and celebration."--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Mother Body is an intersectional exploration of the trauma and agency held within a body defined by its potential to mother. As Mother Body unfolds, it tasks its reader to understand the expected and unexpected manifestations of motherhood, through menstruation and womb work, but also generational, societal, and literary mothering. With a variety of forms and modes, these poems unpack the experiences of a fat, black woman's body while also manifesting joy, resistance, and celebration.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Diamond Forde's debut collection, Mother Body, is the winner of the Saturnalia Poetry Prize judged by Patricia Smith.
