Judith Wright Woman to Man
Today these words popped into my head while I was contemplating the experiences I want Cat to have, the things I want to show and teach her, all the lessons I myself learned from watching her grow and all the changes her presence triggered in me. So I got out the small volume of Judith Wright’s selected poems and re-read Woman to Man, Woman’s Song and Woman to Child. They are such beautiful odes to the pregnancy, the birth and the motherhood. My favourite poets are women, because I feel their words resonate in all my being – my mind, my heart and my soul.
