Matrescence

A powerful collection of modern motherhood poetry exploring identity, birth, and the emotional journey of raising a child.

Spanning pregnancy through the first five years of parenting, Matrescence gives voice to the raw, beautiful, and often contradictory emotions of motherhood. Written in an accessible, modern style, these poems speak to the mother who feels both lost and found, exhausted and empowered - all at once.

This book is for:

• Women navigating early motherhood
• Moms healing after childbirth or postpartum
• Readers who love confessional, honest poetry
• Fans of Rupi Kaur, Kate Baer, and Blythe Baird

With minimalist illustrations by Anna Shephard, Matrescence makes a meaningful gift for new moms, baby showers, or anyone reflecting on the transformation of becoming a parent.
