Honest, funny, and encouraging, this collection of "mom poetry" is written by a mother in the trenches of motherhood as a means of encouraging other moms. It's a perfect gift for any mother who needs a pick-me-up from a kindred spirit.
Real Poems for Real Moms combines traditional poetic forms (like sonnets, a limerick, and haikus) with playful concrete poems, free verse, and a couple forms the author made up because they suited her. Any lover of words or bearer of children is bound to find a giggle or two within these pages, along with a knowing nod of affirmation--motherhood is messy, and beautiful, and hard, and rewarding all at once. Real Poems for Real Moms faces it all with a glimmer of hope--none of us go it alone.
