About MOTHERLODE:
Motherlode is the first major anthology of women’s poetry in more than a decade, a 342-page book featuring 172 poems by 125 poets on subjects relating to motherhood and family: from colonial experience and the world at large to pregnancy, children, loss and death. It includes poems by Judith Wright, Gwen Harwood, Oodgeroo Noonuccal, Dorothy Hewett, Kate Llewellyn, Dorothy Porter, Jan Owen, Jennifer Maiden, Joanne Burns and many other well-known and newer poets. Motherlode enjoyed a successful debut at the Sydney Writer's Festival in May and an overwhelming response from readers and poets alike at events in South Australia and NSW and commentary since then.
