Microscopic heart, when it took its rst beat, Little did I know it would change everything about me. Growing a tiny being in our bodies and then bringing it into the world can be beautiful, frightening, joyful, and overwhelming-sometimes all at once. Women have been living this miraculous experience for centuries, yet for each, it is uniquely di erent. In a postpartum poetry collection, Misty Rivers delves into the raw, spiritual, and emotional terrain of early motherhood. With erce honesty and lyrical depth, her poems explore themes of identity loss, ancestral pain, inner awakening, and rebirth through the eyes of a new mother. Each section reveals a stage of psychological and spiritual transformation, culminating in a powerful reclamation of voice, love, and self. Her poems are not lullabies, but instead battle cries and whispered prayers, written in the still hours between feeding and healing. As You Lie Sleeping shares poems that o er a raw, lyrical journey through the postpartum mind, birthing new identity through grief, myth, and motherhood.
