Fertility, pregnancy, and the landscape of early childhood are
themes explored in this collection of poems, which are by turns
tender, exuberant, and unsettling. Pitched against envious dead,
these diverse narratives of birth and its consequences are rooted
in literary and historical contexts--from Aristotle's theory of
spontaneous generation to Lewis Carroll's Alice--that amplify the
depth of the collection. These selections are an examination of
motherhood and infancy, which is the rich and contested territory
in which what it means to be human in a precarious world is
disclosed.
