In Mother Tongue, Mimi Kunz tells the story of her daughter’s birth and first year of life. Through her poetry and painting, she meditates on the question “So what’s it like, this love?” As she shares her experience of being a young mother, and her moments of marvel, fear, and laughter, a revelation occurs. The body of mother and child are discovered as our first language, our mother tongue.
