Heartrooted: Poems + Drawings Scribbled Between Tantrums, Bathroom Accident Clean Up and All the Things
In my voice:
Nobody talks about it. I want to say it. I'm not fine.
Tell the story. One poem at a time. Every day stories. Every day poems of surviving my transition to mamahood.
This book captures moments of sight, thought, feeling, energy, vulnerability, unknowing, relearning, finding, losing and then some as I find my way again and again into motherhood/womanhood/selfhood . It's not necessarily a linear story. It includes crazy thoughts and deep truths. Perhaps you will find resonance in the descriptive language or in the gutsy honesty. Sharing these poems and drawings is my invitation to spark your thoughts and feelings - maybe even inspire conversations. See what comes up for you.
This book is an ode to imperfection, to allowing a truly raw and unfiltered version of my creative soul into the universe. It's an art I've been practicing most of my life: poetry meets drawing.
