Amazon.com description: Product Description: Celebrating mothers and daughters, mothers and sons, grandmothers and grandchildren, Motherhood is a glorious, wonderfully intimate tribute to the first love in every readerâs life.
From tenth-century Japanâs Izumi Shikibu, colonial Americaâs Anne Bradstreet, and Victorian Englandâs Elizabeth Barrett Browning to Israelâs Yehuda Amichai, Irelandâs Paul Muldoon, and Russiaâs Anna Akhmatova, poets across the centuries and around the world have immortalized this elemental relationship. Among the more than seventy poets in this anthology, Audre Lorde recalls âHow the days went / While you were blooming within meâ; Jorie Graham muses on her motherâs sewing box; Allen Ginsberg says goodbye in âKaddishâ; and Langston Hughes invokes a motherâs empowering example: âDonât you fall nowâ / For Iâse still goinâ, honey, / Iâse still climbinâ, / And life for me ainât been no crystal stair.â From Emily Brontëâs âUpon Her Soothing Breastâ and Seamus Heaneyâs âMother of the Groomâ to Sylvia Plathâs âMorning Songâ and Frank OâHaraâs âAve Maria,â the more than one hundred poems collected here enshrine the miracle of motherhood and the richness of feeling and experience it inspires.
