Who is the Great Mother?

This book of poems is a meditation on motherhood in all of its forms: mythical or flesh and blood, nurturing or devouring, how it helps and hinders, and how we as humans grow from it.

Inspired by Jungian psychology and personal experiences with abuse, consequence, and breaking cycles.
