Feed It To The River

Feed It to the River lets the reader into the secret world of pregnancy loss. The poet seeks reasons for her miscarriage, exploring the disconnect from her female body, and the personal origin story with her own mother. The poems depict a sisterhood in the struggle - women obsessing about motherhood over cycle tracking, peeing on sticks, and fertility herbs, facing social pressures to bloom before the clock winds down, feeling invisible and isolated in the uncompassionate systems of care. The poet challenges the culture of silence around pregnancy loss, all the while chrysanthemums in her childhood garden, and rivers born of this earth, speak the language of loss.
