Mother of 0

Mother of 0 by Vanessa Ogle takes a deep dive into the dynamics of parenting and the mother/daughter relationship. The poet urges us to "remember when they tried/ to blame perceived/ flaws/ on mothers." Mothers shape us, even when "mother no longer looks the same." These poems will leave you thinking.
