*A chapbook of 40 Japanese short-forms that centers on motherhood. It was recently shortlisted for the 2019 Touchstone Distinguished Book Awards.* "In leftover ribbon, Tia Haynes takes us on an intimate journey through motherhood, mapped out by a mix of short-form poems including haiku, senryu, haibun and cherita. Here we follow the poet as she navigates through late night bottles and lullabies to changing body image issues and ideas of what a mother should be. Indeed, while many poems explore deep, complex emotions and dark themes, such as “morning cartoons/I shake out/the last pill”—at the core of this collection is an ever-jubilant sense of love, joy, and wonder of being mama, most beautifully expressed in the titular poem." —Caroline Skanne, Founder & Editor of hedgerow: a journal of small poems
