An excellent read, very highly recommended, Dec 4 2010
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mamas and Papas: On the Sublime and Heartbreaking Art of Parenting (Paperback)
Parenthood is a decade long endeavor that changes people. "Mamas and Papas: On the Sublime and Heartbreaking Art of Parenting" is a collection of fiction, poetry, essays, and other writings on the subject of parenthood. Focusing on the wide spectrum from the inklings of wanting to have a child to releasing them into the world as adults, these stories are profound and offer much poignancy and humor. "Mamas and Papas" is an excellent read, very highly recommended.

Such a great collection of stories and poems!, Nov 5 2010
By M. Cherrington - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mamas and Papas: On the Sublime and Heartbreaking Art of Parenting (Paperback)
I love this book because the stories/poems are short enough to read in the fleeting moments I have to myself (I am a mom of two under three). Such heartfelt stories - some made me laugh out loud and others made me tear up. It has now found a permanent spot on my nursery's nightstand to keep me company during those late night nursing sessions.

a parenting book for the rest of us, Nov 28 2011
By Cheryl K - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mamas and Papas: On the Sublime and Heartbreaking Art of Parenting (Paperback)
Most anthologies strive for inclusivity, but never have such editorial decisions made me cry just reading the table of contents. In this collection, people who've lost babies are parents too; parenthood is hard-won and not always won at all; papas are not just bumbling sidekicks; and even when everything goes right, the dirty little secret behind the joy is its fragility. As Maureen A. Sherbondy sums it up in "Things That Get Lost," a poem about a brief grocery store separation, "Even after I heard his cry,/ that tone-specific inflection, mama,/ pieces of me were so far gone,/ I could not get them back." There is no shortage of humor, as in Sam Apple's blend of myth-debunking journalism and personal essay, and lyrical beauty, as in Dorianne Laux's wintery poem "Augusta." Together they create the world of this anthology, which is, refreshingly, not a world of new plastic products and squealy baby showers but one I actually recognize--of humans, some of them small, some of them big and searching.
