SUMMARY:Pop-up: Notes to New Mothers
DESCRIPTION:Editor Julie Buntin and contributors Cecily Wong and Chelsea Bieker read from their new anthology Notes to New Mothers at Portland Art Museum in the Asian Art gallery (Level 1\, Room 108)\, paired with Watanabe Sadao\, A Modern Madonna. \nFollowed by book signing at The Shop at PAM. \nAbout Notes to New Mothers:\nSixty-five writers and artists capture early motherhood in scenes and revelations: a vulnerable\, kaleidoscopic record of postpartum life. \nIn the early days with their first babies\, two friends began comparing notes on what\, exactly\, was going on in their postpartum bodies and minds. What was a wake window? How could anyone function under the weight of so much love? All their new-mom friends were overwhelmed too. In search of the book they needed\, editors Rebecca Knight and Julie Buntin invited sixty-five acclaimed writers and artists—Julia Phillips\, Kirstin Valdez Quade\, Liana Finck\, Jenny Slate\, Naima Coster\, and more—to riff on shared concerns: burp volcanos\, career shifts\, breastfeeding logs\, partnership dynamics\, minor victories and major insecurities. Here is a bedside table companion for every mother who has wondered how she’ll make it through the wilderness of early parenthood\, and a window into her experience for the family and friends desperate to better care for their beloved moms-to-be. Brave\, unexpected\, and revelatory\, Notes to New Mothers offers a new map of motherhood as both a singular and communal experience.
