Spore or Seed

<p>In the spirit of Judith Wright and Gwen Harwood <em>Spore or Seed</em> is a beautifully written and deeply moving collection of poetry that explores the transformative power of motherhood the loss of self and the discovery of a new expanded self. It traces themes of pregnancy birth and child-rearing against the backdrop of environmental threat weaving in elements of ecopoetry to explore the interconnectedness of all life. What does it mean to become a parent in a time of climate crisis? How do we decide whether or not to have children in a time of constant uncertainty amplified by the pandemic years? And how does motherhood change us? These are the questions that <em>Spore or Seed</em> raises and with evocative and intimate verse uses all the tools of poetry to explore.</p>
