Book excerpt: Mothers sadly do not often receive the praise they deserve for their self-sacrifice and hard work. Franklin Douglas sings of their wondrous works in his new poetry collection Ode to Motherhood. Via the medium of forty-five poetic short stories, he captures the philosophical and moral essence of mothers’ emotions. Through vivid, vibrant prose, Douglas outlines the characteristics of earth’s mothers and gives credence to the care, beauty, and purity of motherhood. His words resonate with all readers who have been touched by a mother’s love, especially those who walk life’s path of conscious seeking. These poems are genuine and true. Douglas hopes to educate the generations to come through his insights. His poems are minimemoirs that pay homage to both the biological as well as voluntary mothers of the world. Mothers are to be celebrated for their hard work and endless devotion. Setting the tone for children and adults of all ages, embrace the mothers in your life and thank them for all they’ve done.

Download or read book Motherhood written by Carmela Ciuraru and published by Everyman's Library. This book was released on 2005-04-05 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrating mothers and daughters, mothers and sons, grandmothers and grandchildren, Motherhood is a glorious, wonderfully intimate tribute to the first love in every reader’s life. From tenth-century Japan’s Izumi Shikibu, colonial America’s Anne Bradstreet, and Victorian England’s Elizabeth Barrett Browning to Israel’s Yehuda Amichai, Ireland’s Paul Muldoon, and Russia’s Anna Akhmatova, poets across the centuries and around the world have immortalized this elemental relationship. Among the more than seventy poets in this anthology, Audre Lorde recalls “How the days went / While you were blooming within me”; Jorie Graham muses on her mother’s sewing box; Allen Ginsberg says goodbye in “Kaddish”; and Langston Hughes invokes a mother’s empowering example: “Don’t you fall now— / For I’se still goin’, honey, / I’se still climbin’, / And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.” From Emily Brontë’s “Upon Her Soothing Breast” and Seamus Heaney’s “Mother of the Groom” to Sylvia Plath’s “Morning Song” and Frank O’Hara’s “Ave Maria,” the more than one hundred poems collected here enshrine the miracle of motherhood and the richness of feeling and experience it inspires.

For mothers who love their children with a fiery fierceness but know what it is to feel crushed at the end of those long days, Dear Mother is like a warm hug that says, “I get it.”

Download or read book An Ode to Motherhood written by Annie Noor and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-03-29 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry Book Motherhood is a beautiful and unique experience that is difficult to fully capture in words. It begins with the miracle of birth, as a mother holds her newborn baby in her arms and experiences an overwhelming sense of love and connection. This connection grows and deepens as the child grows and learns, and the bond between mother and child becomes a source of immense joy and fulfillment. The beauty of motherhood can be found in the simple moments, such as when a child smiles or laughs, or in the pride and awe a mother feels as she watches her child reach important milestones. Through the ups and downs of parenting, a mother's love is a constant force, offering comfort, guidance, and support. Motherhood is not without its challenges, but the strength, resilience, and selflessness that it requires only add to its beauty. As a child grows into adulthood, a mother's love and influence remain a vital part of their life, and the bond between mother and child endures. Ultimately, the beauty of motherhood lies in the profound and enduring connection between a mother and her child, a bond that lasts a lifetime and beyond.

Book excerpt: Kim Dower's poetry has been described by the Los Angeles Times as "sensual and evocative . . . seamlessly combining humor and heartache," and by O Magazine as "unexpected and sublime." Acclaimed for combining the accessible and profound, her poems about motherhood are some of her most moving and disarmingly candid. I Wore This Dress Today for You, Mom is an anthology of her poems on being a mother--childbirth to empty nest--as well as being a daughter with all the teenaged messiness, drama and conflict, to finally caring for one's mother suffering from dementia. Culled from her four collections as well as a selection of new work, these poems, heartbreaking, funny, surprising, and touching, explore the quirky, unexpected observations, and bittersweet moments mothers and daughters share. These evocative poems do not glorify mothers, but rather look under the hood of motherhood and explore the deep crevices and emotions of these impenetrable relationships: the love, despair, joy, humor and gratitude that fills our lives.

Book Synopsis Glitter and Glue by : Kelly Corrigan
Download or read book Glitter and Glue written by Kelly Corrigan and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2015-02-17 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A memoir from the author of The Middle Place about mothers and daughters—a bond that can be nourishing, exasperating, and occasionally divine. When Kelly Corrigan was in high school, her mother neatly summarized the family dynamic as “Your father’s the glitter but I’m the glue.” This meant nothing to Kelly, who left childhood sure that her mom—with her inviolable commandments and proud stoicism—would be nothing more than background chatter for the rest of Kelly’s life, which she was carefully orienting toward adventure. After college, armed with a backpack, her personal mission statement, and a wad of traveler’s checks, she took off for Australia to see things and do things and Become Interesting. But it didn’t turn out the way she pictured it. In a matter of months, her savings shot, she had a choice: get a job or go home. That’s how Kelly met John Tanner, a newly widowed father of two looking for a live-in nanny. They chatted for an hour, discussed timing and pay, and a week later, Kelly moved in. And there, in that house in a suburb north of Sydney, 10,000 miles from the house where she was raised, her mother’s voice was suddenly everywhere, nudging and advising, cautioning and directing, escorting her through a terrain as foreign as any she had ever trekked. Every day she spent with the Tanner kids was a day spent reconsidering her relationship with her mother, turning it over in her hands like a shell, straining to hear whatever messages might be trapped in its spiral. This is a book about the difference between travel and life experience, stepping out and stepping up, fathers and mothers. But mostly it’s about who you admire and why, and how that changes over time. Praise for Glitter and Glue “I loved this book, I was moved by this book, and now I will share this book with my own mother—along with my renewed appreciation for certain debts of love that can never be repaid.”—Elizabeth Gilbert, New York Times bestselling author of Eat, Pray, Love “Kelly Corrigan’s thoughtful and beautifully rendered meditation invites readers to reflect on their own launchings and homecomings. I accepted the invitation and learned things about myself. You will, too. Isn’t that why we read?”—Wally Lamb, New York Times bestselling author of We Are Water “Kelly Corrigan is no stranger to mining the depths of her heart. . . . Through her own experience of caring for children, she begins, for the first time, to appreciate the complex woman who raised her.”—O: The Oprah Magazine

Book Synopsis When You Thought I Wasn't Looking by : Mary Rita Schilke Korzan
Download or read book When You Thought I Wasn't Looking written by Mary Rita Schilke Korzan and published by Andrews McMeel Publishing. This book was released on 2013-02-05 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When I wrote a tribute for my mother years ago, I never anticipated it would take a worldwide journey. Nonetheless, that is exactly what happened. The story I am about to share with you may read like fiction. I can assure you, there is nothing in the world that has ever been more true." --Mary Rita Korzan Mary Rita Schilke Korzan wrote a poem to her mother 24 years ago, thanking her for all she had done as a mother, friend, and role model. She gave the poem to her mother and, a few months later, offered it as a tribute when Mary and her husband were married. So many wedding guests asked for a copy that Mary included one in her thank-you notes. Thus began the strange and heartwarming journey of Mary's poem to her mom. Friends passed it on to those they knew. A minister in her hometown couldn't recall who gave it to him, but he included the by-then "anonymously written" poem in his book about loving others. Another author picked it up from there for her compilation of heartfelt works, and Mary finally noticed her poem, now listed as "Author Unknown," in A Fourth Course of Chicken Soup for the Soul, which her husband and children gave her as a Mother's Day gift. With When You Thought I Wasn't Looking, readers have the chance to experience Mary's poem in its entirety and from its creator. This is the special kind of book that reminds us that sometimes the little things we do "just because" mean more to someone than we can imagine. Those little things teach love, compassion, and understanding. In other words, they're priceless. This sweet gift book brings that lesson home to the heart.
