The structure of this intrigued me - the norms for the women, the norms for the men... I felt the see-saw go up and down and I desired another ride.

For me it's the opening, stanza 6 and final stanza that are especially compelling. Other visitors are referring to the series you have, but I assume you also want each poem to be capable of standing alone. In that context, I'd like a touch more info on "his" unhealed wound in the opening, its connection to pregnancy. I really like the images in your speaker's mind. I'm a male, but she helps me understand what thoughts and wondering might occur to a pregnant woman. I also like the mix of the ordinary, everyday material with haunting, maybe gothic details in her psyche.

i love this series of poems. the interconnections.. the inner and inter connections you were making or trying too.

the will to understand others and sell. the will to somehow be present to the norm when such transformation was occuring within you.

thanks.

I like this as it awakens my "inner voice" some of my own experiences. Very nice. I found your blog btw on the poetry blog list. I'm there too and visiting many of the great blogs that are listed. I'll be back to read more.

Such a powerful sequence Amanda... the refrain, Seven months and still not showing is haunting. And that ending knocked me out. So visceral, so real! Can't wait to see the evolution of this piece.

I'm excited about this series - the gestation within the poem; the gestation of the creativity within you now; the pregnant pause between each publication - this is a good series, and something so obviously different from you. I find it really invigorating. :)

These poems, now connecting, growing into a larger body of work. Belonging to that sparse semi-desert wheatland country. Memory shards, sharp, cut to the bone yet human all over them. Love it. TF

I love the last two stanzas or verses the most. It's plaintive and basic in all of us to attempt to draw from experience and be wont of experience we lack.
