From the depression, nausea and constant burping of the first
trimester, to the sciatica, sleeplessness and anxiety of the last;
the elation and terror of early motherhood right through to the end
of breastfeeding and her child's first day at nursery - these poems
describe one woman's journey to becoming a mother. This initiation
is one of the most common human experiences, but also shockingly
unique and insular. Poems Burping on the Tube, Candy Crush Guy and
Super-mum and Me, tell humorous stories about Grace's alien new
reality, shining light on aspects of pregnancy and motherhood far
from the glossy, shimmering images on social media. Mostly written
in lockdown, I Have No Idea What I'm Doing also highlights what
life at home was like for new mothers. Grace has always struggled
with anxiety and depression and this collection addresses mental
health and how it is affected by hormonal fluctuations. Much like
life and motherhood, most of the poetic structures are
unpredictable and their rhythm bumpy and non-conformist. These
poems dive deep into raw human experience and the sheer ferocity of
motherhood. With beautiful monoprint illustrations from animator
and artist Allegra Pilkington, this book is both a gift and
collector's item.
