MotherFlux - Online Launch (Mothering Sunday, 12th May 2024)

MotherFlux is the collaborative work of three queer parent-poets from the margins of (m)otherhood - Erica Gillingham, Jem Henderson and JP Seabright
From embryonic dreamers and pregnancy-performers to sleep-deprived newbies and seasoned second-timers, their poems are raw, messy, and unflinching reflections on what it means to be a parent, and to make a family. The pamphlet considers gender, sexuality, politics, and the body as it moves between heightened individual experiences to outright rejections of societal expectations.
These are voices recording in real time, mothering in flux.
