| Description: | “Welcome to Your New Life” is a highly original memoir that seeks to describe the ambush of the mind by motherhood. Composed in second person and present tense, this is creative non-fiction as a generic hybrid: part comedy, part poem, part meditation, part essay. It moves in and out of two main modes, as it details both the comedy of the body, and the more poetic/philosophical observations of the mind trying to hold on to itself. The book begins as a type of autobiography of the body. The second part of the book examines the subjectivities of motherhood: mother vanity alongside mother love. |
