Synopsis
In this cool, manifold chronicle of motherhood, Nicole Cooley tackles the experience of creation, occupying a new vernacular of love within danger. Her poems—animate self-reflections of both merged bodies and violent separation—confront the turbulence of fear and safety.

From "Mater Dolorosa":
The September sky burns metal blue, each day's fabric torn away
from my window.
Write toward the girl, asleep beside me, her small body made
of mine
and toward the mother who waits, all night, awake, standing
over her child.
Write against blankness, a sheet strung tight, a bed the color
of ash white, white, white.
