Native women and women of color poignantly share their pain,
revelations, and hope after experiencing the traumas of miscarriage
and infant loss What God Is Honored Here? is the first book of its
kind-and urgently necessary. This is a literary collection of
voices of Indigenous women and women of color who have undergone
miscarriage and infant loss, experiences that disproportionately
affect women who have often been cast toward the margins in the
United States of America. From the story of dashed cultural
expectations in an interracial marriage to poems that speak of loss
across generations, from harrowing accounts of misdiagnoses,
ectopic pregnancies, and late-term stillbirths to the poignant
chronicles of miscarriages and mysterious infant deaths, What God
Is Honored Here? brings women together to speak to one another
about the traumas and tragedies of womanhood. In its heartbreaking
beauty, this book offers an integral perspective on how culture and
religion, spirit and body, unite in the reproductive lives of women
of color and Indigenous women as they bear witness to loss, search
for what is not there, and claim for themselves and others their
fundamental humanity. Powerfully and with brutal honesty, they
write about what it means to reclaim life in the face of death.
Editors Shannon Gibney and Kao Kalia Yang acknowledge "who we had
been could not have prepared us for who we would become in the wake
of these words," yet the writings collected here offer insight,
comfort, and, finally, hope for all those who, like the women
gathered here, have found grief a lonely place. Contributors:
