With a journalist's eye for detail and a poet's capacity for won- der, Bright captures the intense moments of early motherhood. Here are the worry and the fierce delight, the 3 a.m. wake-ups, and the floor strewn with Cheerios. These poems read like snapshots, freeze-framing days that feel both fleeting and unending, even while the rest of the poet's life hums in the background, waiting for its turn to thrive.
