"Layered": A Poem by Esther de Vries
The online literary journal nthposition has just published an interesting poem by Esther de Vries. Maybe I'm biased, simply because the poet is my wife :-), but I think it is a multi-layered, beautiful poem that reveals the complexity of modern motherhood. To read the poem click here.

The poem is lovely. I like the complexity of multiple and contrary emotions about "home" and "away." Too often we see such highly romanticized ideas about motherhood, that I think we lose out on the real wonder of it.
