Child, I Will Always Carry You
About this book
Child, I Will Always Carry You celebrates the sacredness of motherhood. This volume depicts the wonder and loss that a young mother encounters through raising children. For the narrator, family life serves as a chrysalis that transforms her. The collection portrays ordinary moments as windows into deeper themes of connection and separation, joy and grief, gratitude, and life and death. Some poems function as hymns of gratitude, others are prayers, and still others are comic sketches of the hilarity of home life.
