<p>Motherland is an examination of mothers, mothering, and impending motherhood. The majority of the poems in Motherland were penned in the wavering, wondering hand of a woman navigating her first pregnancy. These poems ask questions of the future and reflect on the past, they are a fervent search for instruction, for meaning, in the stories of mothers, grandmothers, and other mothers. An accessible and enjoyable collection, Motherland is at times sweet, anxious, dark, joy-filled, and raw. In essence, it's much like motherhood itself. Shannon J. Curtin is the author of File Cabinet Heart (Emerge Literary Publications, 2014). Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in Literary Mama, Love Me, Love My Belly, Short, Fast, and Deadly, as Others, Vox Poetica, y'all'd've, and Muddy River Poetry Review. She lives in Portsmouth, Virginia with her husband, son, and dog. She holds an MBA, competitive shooting records, and her liquor. She would probably like you.</p>
