Giving Birth in a Time of War by Elsa Valmidiano

COMING SOON in 2025!

Synopsis:

Giving Birth in a Time of War honors Filipinas home and abroad, in past and future, where children are brought into the world despite war, violence, racism, and authoritarianism. Where mothers scream, fight, grieve, rejoice, and yet still die. In these poems, women—cis, trans, current, historical, ancestral, divine—defy or yield to the conditions mete out for them, and yet in this grueling process, a collective survival is born.
