A New Center of Gravity

A New Center of Gravity explores the beautiful, bewildering, and often contradictory experience of becoming a mother. With humor, tenderness, and a scientific lens, these poems move through pregnancy, birth, sleepless nights, marriage, corporate work, daycare, and the everyday joys and absurdities of raising a child. At the heart of the collection is a question: when your child becomes the center of your universe, where do you fit? These poems make space for both the overwhelming love of motherhood and the longing to rediscover the woman who existed before it.
