RT @caitlin_roper: THREAD: This is one of the most powerful arguments against #surrogacy I’ve read. Gena Corea, author of The Mother Machine, responds to the claim that surrogacy = a woman choosing what to do with her body #stopsurrogacynow
"These poems are at once incisively candid and transcendent in the humility of their offering. They speak directly to a powerful sense of dignity...always hard won through constant struggle, resilience, fearlessness...in spite of ongoing conditions ...
