"Waiting to Unfold" offers an unflinching and honest look at the
challenges and blessings of early parenthood. Poet and rabbi Rachel
Barenblat wrote one poem during each week of her son's first year
of life, chronicling the wonder and the delight along with the pain
of learning to nurse, the exhaustion of sleep deprivation, and the
dark descent into -- and eventual ascent out of -- postpartum
depression. Barenblat brings her rabbinic training and deep
spirituality to bear on this quintessential human experience. She
also resists sentimentality or rosy soft-focus. While some of these
are poems of wonder, others were written in the trenches. These
poems resist and refute the notion that anyone who doesn't savor
every instant of exalted motherhood deserves stigma and shame. And
they uncover the sweetness folded in with the bitter. By turns
serious and funny, aching and transcendent, these poems take an
unflinching look at one woman's experience of becoming a mother.
