Navel-Gazing: The Days and Nights of a Mother in the Makingby Jennifer Matesa
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:I found out yesterday. I took an $8 pregnancy test, which involved sticking a plastic strip between my legs and peeing on it. The strip had two pink lines: pregnant . . . I blinked and blinked, hoping for it to fade, but it didn’t . . . So begins Jennifer Matesa’s atypical account of a typical pregnancy — one where the mother-to-be didn’t start picking out names or knitting booties the moment she learned she was with child. Jennifer’s honesty is made even more intimate by the pictures — taken weekly by a photographer friend — that offer a powerful glimpse of her developing body throughout this life-changing experience. Navel-Gazing is a true and natural portrait of a pregnancy, its trials, its joys, and its beauty. The book’s unique double view — from the inside and out — reveals how bearing a child can change you forever, emotionally, mentally, and physically. An empowering alternative, Navel-Gazing is a sensuous and perceptive expression of the essence of the pregnancy experience. About the AuthorJennifer Matesa has worked as a journalist, graphic designer, publications consultant, and university instructor. She lives in Pittsburgh. Charlee Brodsky is an associate professor of photography at Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Design. What Our Readers Are SayingBe the first to add a comment for a chance to win!Product Details
