In From The Cold of The Bathroom Floor, asiakai delivers a biting collection of poetry reflecting on childhood grief, the state of our world, and how motherhood acts as a catalyst to seeing everything in a new light.
Her writing challenges social norms and expectations, provoking readers to consider the duality and nuances of motherhood. asiakai writes for those enraged at how much we claim to love mothers but do nothing to support them, those who are mothering their children while still mothering themselves and those who are pissed off at the state of the world, begging for better for our children.
Raw, unapologetic, and deeply vulnerable, this collection is an unraveling of the modern mother. This book isn’t just for mothers, it’s for anyone who wants to be in community. To understand each other is the first step in taking care of one another.
