Produktbeschreibung

"I squeeze myself in places I never want to see with everything that I have in the hopes that I can squeeze myself back together in places I don't understand, and perhaps if I squeeze hard enough, I will escape the black holes"

Beneath the Light is a collection centered on traumatic birth scenarios and navigating the aftermath. Lewis-Waters flawlessly meshes the disparity and cross-section of the anxiety and grief of trauma recovery with the joy and comfort that can be found in motherhood. This work is raw and honest and entirely unafraid of the messy and uncomfortable sides that are often buried and forgotten in an act of beauty.
