I’d Rather Be A Mother – Art & Poetry

 

I’ve been writing blackout poetry since I discovered I couldn’t have children. I have fallen in love with it, but I’d rather be a mother. The poems in this series confront common infertility themes: blame, aging, uncertainty. I try to break wide open the fears and insecurities that often accompany this isolating disease, and it’s my hope that sharing this journey will inspire others to create something beautiful out of something broken.
