Inhaltsangabe

The experiences of motherhood are not to be met with silence and/or platitudes. This anthology brings to light the many strong, scary, gorgeous motherhood poems being written right now--poems that address the politics and difficulties and stubborn satisfactions of mothering--while it reminds us of earlier poems that opened the space in which this new work might appear. Motherhood is a universal solvent: Contributors to this anthology come from all over the aesthetic map, and from different states of childgetting--adoption, single parenthood, new mothers, mothers of adults. Not for Mothers Only will abolish any comfortable prejudices about what poems on motherhood can or cannot do or say.
