Breaking into Air: A collection of birth stories, shared in the language of poetry.

Guests: Emily Wall, poet and author of Breaking into Air.
 

Emily Wall has woven together true stories of child birth, retold in a collection of poems. It’s a project that began after the birth of her third daughter, Lucy. Wall discovered that although birth experiences are most often shared in private, they are among some of the most powerful and primal stories.
