Blood & Cord
Writers on Early Parenthood
Introduction
A child is born and everything is made anew. In this blur of new beginnings there are tears and laughter, new words and new silences: this is an unmaking and remaking of the self.
Content Overview
From short stories about unnerved fathers and lost mothers, to poems about half-built Lego palaces and friends who share their deepest secrets, Blood & Cord is a raw exploration of new parenthood.
Themes
Voicing silenced conversations about loss, grief, and loneliness, as well as the joys and laughter that are part and parcel of becoming a parent, the stories told within offer a refreshingly honest account of life after new life.
Purpose
This collection is a hand in the dark, offering comfort and solidarity to any new parent.
