The Momologue Collective: An Anthology by Self-Identifying Mothers - Paperback

by Brianna M. Allen (Author), Mercedes O'Leary (Editor), Kammi Matson (Cover Design by)

Why are the best stories about motherhood told in whispers? Frustrated by the Stepford veneer she felt pressured to slap on as a new mother, Alaskan artist Brianna Allen started inviting her friends to share real stories - under the protective cover of anonymity. The result is a collection of 100 true stories from self-identifying mothers, ranging from losing dried belly buttons in the laundry to watching a beloved teenage recover from a sucide attempt. The growing, cross-conintenal community of hilarious and harrowing anthems together remark how motherhood is transcendent. Written and curated between November 2019 and July 2022, Volume I is the first installment of an on-going social art practice embodied through The Momologue Collective.
