POETRY: Mothers Respond

Edited by Cindy Veach and Jennifer Martelli

The poems in this folio explore how we, as mothers, have responded to the seismic changes over the past few months: are we or our children at risk? how do we explain this new year of division or loss? do we face these challenges as opportunities?
