This poetry collection, including the title poem, explores conflicts around living as mother, wife, and woman. From a post-childbirth perspective, body, home, and self-understanding are remade in fresh language.

The poems look at the joy and tremor of becoming a mother.

This critical collection asks what grounds contemporary poetry criticism can stand on. Through poet studies, criticism, and meta-criticism, it probes the beauty of language and the limits of critical practice.

It searches for the line beyond the language that criticizes poetry.
