Poems of a Midwife

Ingrid Andersson, Holy Cow! Press (APR 19) Softcover $16.95 (84pp), 978-1-73740-511-5 Introducing something precious to the world is hallowed work, and we imagine Ingrid Andersson derives slightly more pleasure from fulfilling her midwife duties than those of a poet. Her study of German, Swedish, French, and English poetry, in addition to anthropology, at the University of Wisconsin, further roots the many beautiful ideas in this debut collection. She lives in Madison with chickens, dogs, bees, a husband, and a son.
