Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Public Library Best Book of 2020 A Best Read of 2020 at Ms. Magazine "To read Jenny Zhang is to embrace primal states: pleasure, hunger, longing and rage." —TIME Radiant and tender, My Baby First Birthday is a collection that examines innocence, asking us who gets to be loved and who has to deplete themselves just to survive. Jenny Zhang writes about accepting pain, about the way we fetishize womanhood and motherhood, and reduce women to their violations, traumas, and body parts. She questions the way we feminize and racialize nurturing, and live in service of other people’s dreams. How we idealize birth and being baby, how it’s only in our mothers’ wombs that we’re still considered innocent, blameless, and undamaged, because it’s only then that we don’t have to earn love. Her poems explore the obscenity of patriarchy, whiteness, and capitalism, the violence of rescue and heroism. The magic trick in My Baby First Birthday is that despite all these themes, the book never feels like some jeremiad. Zhang uses friendship as a lyric. She seeks tenderness, radiant beauty, and having love for your mistakes. Through all this, she writes about being alone—really alone, like why-was-I-ever-born alone—and trying, despite everything, to reach out and touch something—skin to skin, animal to animal.

Download or read book My Miracle written by Evelyn Stewart and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-09 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I, too, was a victim of abuse. I thought I had to endure the suffering. Bless your good works and your caring heart." Francine, internationally acclaimed poet (http: //poetry-emotion.com) "This isn't the same ol'-same ol' story of a woman raised with incest in her background and an alcoholic parent to contend with. It's the story of a woman born into a loving family who suffered at the hands of a man who lured into his web, then spent the next thirty years of their life attempting to destroy her. He only made her stronger. It's the story of our culture, with a rich texture of the 40s, 50s and 60s woven into the fabric of the author's astounding words. Spellbinding, with a hint of John Steinbeck on every page." Marjorie Cox, public speaker "I live every day of my life grateful to have survived what so many young women haven't survived. Maybe I had to tough it out in order to pass along some of my history to those who feel that they, and they alone, are in such abusive situations that no one will ever understand. My message to them is to believe in miracles. And to believe in yourself. With God, all things are possible. I'm living proof of the truth of that statement." Evelyn Fort Stewart
