A stunning and honest debut poetry collection about the beauty and hardships in being a mother, a wife, and a woman.
Her Poems are those you share with your mother, your daughter, your sister, and your friends..
As easy to post on Instagram as they are to print out and frame, Kate\'s words make women feel seen in their own bodies, in their own marriages, and in their own lives.
In her poem Deliverance about her daughter\'s birth she writes What is the word for when the light leaves the body?/What is the word for when it/at last, returns? Through Poems that are as unforgettably beautiful as they are accessible, Kate proves herself to truly be an exemplary voice in modern poetry.
In Nothing Tastes as Good as Skinny Feels she challenges her reader to consider their grandmother\'s cake, the taste of the sea, the cool swill of freedom.
So ends Kate Baer\'s remarkable poem Things My Girlfriends Teach Me.
When life throws you a bag of sorrow, hold out your hands/Little by little, mountains are climbed.
