My Body, Myself
a literary folio
There are myriad areas in which motherhood intersects, is contingent on, is affected by, the body–our own, and our loved ones’. Our writers of prose and poetry explore becoming a mother–or not, gestating, the aging body, abilities and challenges, feeding the body, and more, illuminating our relationships with the physical. –Marjorie Tesser
