Milk and Ink by Nina Perez Tomi L Wiley PDF Summary

Book Description: Milk & Ink: A Mosaic of Motherhood. Creating a Template of Possibility for Our Children Culturally, the image of the mother is often perched atop a pedestal of purity%u2014she is supposed to be long-suffering, patient, never ruffled, always available, unconditional, and beaming white light. But there is another side. Many women find that motherhood challenges them with a scale of extremes %u2013 love and terror, joy and frustration, inspiration and exhaustion. They discover that to have a child means to live with their hearts outside of their bodies. It also means navigating what can feel like a great divide between caring for their children and caring for themselves as individuals. Mothers are often doing invisible work, work that rarely gets rewarded. Mothers struggle to find balance between attentive parenting and the pursuit of their individual dreams. We believe that a mother%u2019s achievements serve as a template of possibility for our children%u2019s lives. If there%u2019s one prime lesson a woman learns when she becomes a mother it%u2019s that she won%u2019t make it very far through these challenges without the support of other mothers. Milk and Ink: A Mosaic of Motherhood is an anthology comprised of writing mothers who have gathered their words to celebrate the duality and intensity of being both mother and writer; it aims to appeal to mothers of all stripes, whether they write or not. Milk and Ink will feature new and established writers including Caroline Leavitt, Tracey Slaughter, Ellen Meister, Justine Musk and more, with a wide scope of experience, ethnicity and points of view, and features poetry, fiction, and essays. While Milk & Ink is focusing on the experience of motherhood, we also hope that our stories speak to everyone: fathers, daughters, and sons. We all have mothers and this anthology is dedicated to those cycles of life that are universal. It is an anthology about our experiences of family, beginning with the mother. If there%u2019s one prime lesson a woman learns when she becomes a mother it%u2019s that she won%u2019t make it very far through these challenges without the support of other mothers. This anthology, not only in its stories, but in its creation and promotion, seeks to acknowledge the need we have for one another. Though this anthology is comprised of writing mothers who have gathered their words to celebrate the duality and intensity of being both mother and writer, it aims to inspire all to recognize the power of living true to your passions and life purpose. Proceeds of the project will be donated to Mama Hope, which supports women and children in Africa in a variety of projects. Milk and Ink/em> is the brainchild of Eros-Alegra Clarke, grand prize winner of the 76th Annual Writer%u2019s Digest Writing Competition.
