Description

"Mary Walker is one of the most beautiful poets I know." - Martha Beck, New York Times best-selling author

Lullaby for Mothers is a collection of poems for motherhood and beyond. Mary captures moments with her children that are both small and personal. These are moments we all experience every day, the kind of things we hope we never forget.

Lullaby for Mothers reminds us it is not the special occasions but the everyday, repeated gestures that bind us together as mother and child. In the midst of our busy lives, a moment with our child stands out. We are brought to a standstill, overwhelmed by love or fear, or both.

Lullaby for Mothers provides a window into the universal experience of being a mother. It reminds us that life-and our treasured relationship with our children-is happening all around us, every day. It invites us to slow down, to listen, and to love.

"If we are all tired mama souls feeling our way along an unknown road in the dark, Mary's poetry is a sweet light guiding us home." Annie Ferguson Muscato

"Mary's collection of thoughts is timeless, giving me a solid place to stand as I continue to explore my own identity as a mother." Michelle Wells, Creation Co-op

"Mary has a way of quickly transporting her reader right into her worlds, inner and outer, through her vivid and touching poetry. The gentleness and honour she conveys on her experiences comes through and touches the heart." Lauren Oujiri
