In Earth-based cultures, Mothers are held at the center. As life-bearers, they are treated with the same care and respect as Mother Earth. However, in industrialized societies where the Earth is both exploited and neglected, Mothers are, too. Throughout her new collection, Tierney explores some of the stories and realities of mothering within an anthropocentric, capitalistic, nuclear family paradigm-stories that have often been repressed or dismissed. It is an honest, harrowing, and deeply tender portrayal of early motherhood, one that honors the humanity and complexity of this central role.
