With a journalist’ s eye for detail and a poet’ s capacity for won-
der, Bright captures the intense moments of early motherhood.
Here are the worry and the fierce delight, the 3 a.m. wake-ups, and
the floor strewn with Cheerios. These poems read like snapshots,
freeze-framing days that feel both fleeting and unending, even
while the rest of the poet’ s life hums in the background, waiting
for its turn to thrive.
