Beskrivelse

Sonic and typographic experimentation collide in this book-length poem in seven sections. MOTHER IS A BODY is a visceral and immediate exploration of the female body, and that which is continually forced upon it, as Herrera considers what it means to be mothered, and to mother in return.

Through a cyclical process of imagining, conceiving, assigning, emptying, MOTHER IS A BODY at once renounces and reveres the notion of the sacred feminine, to illustrate ?mother? in her many actualities--a complex figure, at times unsightly, that both is and isn't what we most often ascribe to her as an archetype of the divine.

Overseen by Gilles Deleuze and F?lix Guattari, Clarice Lispector, Miriam Medrez, and Yoko Ono, Herrera pieces together material excavated from within Instagram's endless scroll, Wikipedia's citations, and even the U.S. Department of Agriculture's archives to create a layered inscription--musically, emotionally, philosophically--to the idea of motherhood, and the children she never had.
