Lindi’s second book of poetry, mom is a sticky word, is available for purchase now. View details.
mom is a sticky word is a collection of poems about becoming a mother and finding yourself somewhere in the aftermath.
With tenderness, humour, and unflinching honesty, Lindi Nolte explores the strange terrain of matrescence: the shifting landscape of a body, the weight of a new identity, the tenderness of love, and the unexpected grief of a life transformed. These poems move through the intimate and the uncomfortable, making room for the contradictions that motherhood rarely leaves room to speak about.
From the visceral realities of pregnancy and labour to the quieter reckonings of raising a child while trying not to lose yourself, mom is a sticky word asks what happens when the person you are becomes inseparable from the person someone needs you to be.
A collection about love and longing, becoming and unbecoming, and the messy, miraculous business of being a mother and an artist.
