This delightful collection of poetry celebrates motherhood in all its forms. Here you will find all the joy, grief, self-sacrifice, occasionalirritation, but above all, the intimate tenderness of motherhood-whether evoked in a glimpse of a very human mother or through heroic tales of the great mother goddesses of myth, legend, and religion. Talking of Mothers includes poems by Robert Louis Stevenson, Edmund Spenser, Ben Johnson, Anne Bradstreet, William Wordsworth, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
