"Robin Lim is a woman of staggering energy, passion, goodness and
talent. Her poems take all four of those traits, and weave them
into wonder." -Elizabeth Gilbert "Robin Lim's poems are born from
the same womb as her devotion to midwifery. A womb that treasures
each life, even faced with its darkest questions. She enters the
world of words and of birth with equal humility, purpose, and a
profound care for humanity. Her poetic images are clear and
trenchant and they aim for the soul. Her language rises from a
notable forthrightness, and ripens with a crone's articulation. We
recognize: Yes, that is who we are. Yes, that is what frightens us.
Yes, that is what leads us toward love. With these poems, and with
her devotion to life, Lim is wise-on our behalf." -Margo
Berdeshevsky "Robin Lim is one of my heroes. Her dedication to
mothers, babies and the health of the planet family, is matched
only by her love of writing. In these pages you will feel the raw
emotion, passion, humor, hope and tenacity that fuels this great
woman warrior. I am certain that you too will discover that the
world is a brighter place with her in it." -Michael Franti
