Mother Scorpion Rachel Boury Baxter

"I am the valkyrie of the words spoken in this home-fragility of feather, strength of sword and shield, my verses forever etched in my armor."Bold and delicate, Mother Scorpion is a collection of poems that chronicles the dreams, pains, and truths that season a mother's journey. Separated into 3 parts, "Dream Stories," Tiny Things," and "Discharge Papers," this collection contains poems written during pregnancy and the postpartum period. The poet illustrates her fantasies and struggles, her greatest joys and deepest anxieties. This is the first collection of poetry released by poet Rachel Boury Baxter, an active writer on Medium.com and founding editor of Poetry in Form (poetry-in-form.com).
