Birth of a Daughter: Poems

Birth of a Daughter is an honest and vivid portrait of new motherhood. It is a chapbook about intimacy and love, both for the child and for the self. 'There is a world at my fingertips. / Or, I am the world—fingertipped,' Kolber writes in her poem “A(u)reola.” These poems are a beautiful witness to that common, yet utterly profound occurrence of birth. — Bianca Stone, author of A Little Called Pauline
