Produktbeschreibung

"Now you are gone and for a while my womb lost its voice and forgot how to sing. / What is a song but a daughter's love transcending time and space? / I am learning to listen." When her beloved dog Ealga dies, Esther Vincent Xueming finds her home, which had been filled with the songs and sounds of Ealga's life, abruptly silent. womb song chronicles Esther's journey through grief as she wanders from landscape to landscape, from a temple in Bangkok to her subconscious, from the Kinabatangan River to the uncharted space of her dreams. All the while, the sea within her tosses. As Esther searches for healing, she finds herself asking, what does it mean to mother-a dog, a child, another non-human life-and be mothered? A new nature poetry collection that revolves around the relationship between humans and non-humans. Great for readers interested in spirituality and self-discovery as well as readers who are new to poetry.
