The Umbilical Cord Poems and Prose by a Mother and Son

Trama

The book of poetry and prose is an outgrowth of what my mother and I shared: she carrying the child; the child receiving all from being carried. When she ate, I ate. What she drank, I drank. When she thought, I had to be part of the process of development - broken off and absorbed.
