Breathe Herstory

I am breathing
herstory.

Mother. Poet. Woman still becoming.
The life doesn’t stop at the last line.

The life between the lines

I cracked before I bloomed,
and the petals had the audacity
to cut back.

Motherhood. Mental health. Recovery. A voice that kept finding its way back to the page. These are threads running through Penny Speaks—and through the work still becoming.

In the Shadow of Her brings motherhood and survival into a memoir in poetry. There’s room here for the mother and the woman, for love and what it asks of us.
