With two pieces of lyric nonfiction anchoring the poetry, Mom in Space embraces hybridity, featuring forms such as the sonnet and ghazal as well as prose poems and verse essays. Its speakers have a clear-eyed, unsentimental view of family life and the ways in which we lay ourselves bare to each other in relationships and in society. As NASA and commercial space companies gear up for Artemis missions to the moon, when the "first woman and next man" will step onto the lunar surface, Mom in Space offers new conceptions of women in space, incorporating both fictional and real female astronauts, among them the first mom in space (Anna Fischer) and the first Black woman in space (Mae Jemison). With a sense of both awe and informed inquiry, Mom in Space considers what spaceflight means not just for those who get rocketed into space but for those who stay home"-- $c Provided by publisher. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Ampleman, Lisa. $t Mom in space $d Baton Rouge : Louisiana State University Press, [2024] $z 9780807181591 $w (DLC) 2023025167 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240502013011.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A33C857AF17F11EE82DF7F7D41ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
