Wolf Mother is an empowered collection of poetry about motherhood and our divine responsibility to become our greatest selves, not just for ourselves and our children, but for the whole world too. At the very core of life is this truth: empowered mothers create empowered children.
Wolf Mother gives a voice to the modern mother, who shows her children a new way of living. Our children will not do as we say but will do as we do, so the greatest gift we can give them is an example of a fully-lived life: a woman pulsing with joy and making brave moves toward her own dreams. A Wolf Mother is Alive! Powerful! Herself!
Reading this poetry is to walk the journey of one woman from maiden to mother.
This collection of poetry is sweet and soft, wild and unruly, deep and sorrowful, and finally: pure maternal power.
It is for all mothers. It is for all daughters.
Let us all remember that mothers belong to themselves before they belong to anyone else.
Written by Kimmery Moss, a poet, yoga teacher, wife, and mother of two small tornadoes. She lives in Riverside, CA with her wolf pack where they bop around the orange groves, make big messes, and suck the marrow out of life.
"Kimmery Moss writes poetry with the strength of a thousand mothers. Her words implore us to sip, savor and bask in the complexities of womanhood. These poems are not meant to be read sitting down, but rather crouching and ready to pounce. Do yourself a favor. Bite into this book and let the juice drip down your chin, satiating the ravenous hunger of an empowered woman."
