Book excerpt: A midwife is in the thick of it, she sees it all, wrote Jennifer Worth, author of Call the Midwife. Jordemoder: Poems of a Midwife is a portal into a world of thick, rich, raw, rent life. It is midwifing in its broadest sense--from releasing a newborn's stuck shoulders or catching a baby in the caul, to Socratic questioning around body autonomy, social justice and climate sustainability. The poems are layered and bi-cultural, rooted in contrasts between America and Sweden, as well as between colonial/industrial and ecological/relational ways of caring for each other and the earth. Through humor, love, art and aging, Jordemoder is a collection of midwifed hope. For more information, please visit www.ingridandersson.info.--Ingrid Andersson
