mama-poet

I am interested in the juxtaposition of parenthood and writing (mainly poetry), which is why I started Balancing the Tide: Motherhood and the Arts | an Interview Project. 
I'm more interested in what others have to say, so here is a humble but growing list, some resources where those two worlds are combined in the best of ways:

Anthologies:
- Not for Mothers Only
- The Grand Permission:  New Writings on Poetics and Motherhood

Nonfiction:
- Blue Jay's Dance: A Birth Year by Louise Erdrich
- Great With Child:  Letters to a Young Mother by Beth Ann Fennelly
- Of Woman Born: Motherhood as Experience and Institution by Adrienne Rich
- Black Milk: On Writing, Motherhood, and the Harem Within by Elif Shafak
(my own:  Nestuary, which you can find here)

Poetry collections I have turned to which touch on motherhood, the body as a(n) (in)fertile site, etcetera:
- The Mother's Tongue by Heid E. Erdrich

I should add that my criteria for putting books on this list focused on craft as well as subject matter and that these books and sources would be a pleasure for any reader looking for good literature as opposed to simply mama-minded poet-types.
