All the Blood Involved in Love

All the Blood Involved in Love is an urgent and evocative collection - featuring complex and compelling poems about the choices we make surrounding home, freedom, healing, partnership, and family. In a moment of critical struggle for reproductive justice, Maya Marshall's haunting debut meditates on womanhood - with and without motherhood. Traversing familial mythography with an unflinching seriousness, Marshall moves deftly between contemporary politics, the stakes of race and interracial partnership, and the monetary, mental, and physical costs of adopting or birthing a Black child.
