what mothers withhold

The poems of "what mothers withhold" are songs of brokenness and hope in a mother's voice, poems of the body in its fierceness and failings. Elizabeth Kropf's poems revel in peeling back silence, and invite us to witness a complicated and traumatic world that is also filled with love. -Cindy Huyser, poet and editor, author of Burning Number Five: Power Plant Poems With these visceral poems, poet and mother Elizabeth Kropf has composed a chant of the vocabulary of vulnerability. From fertility to conception to birth-or not-and into motherhood, Kropf's recounting of her experiences compels the reader to enter and acknowledge the power of what mothers endure and withhold. -Anne McCrady, author of Letting Myself In and Along Greathouse Road
