Unfolding with great tenderness, Motherlands is a sharp, inventive debut that comes from an awareness of multiplicities and histories. Hernandez, as a woman charting the topography of grief and its relation to poetry, burns brightly—with the bones of home, country, and memory lighting her path.

—Angela Gabrielle Fabunan, author of The Sea That Beckoned and Young Enough to Play

Motherlands is a lyrical meditation on the parallel journeys of motherhood, immigration, and amputation. Each journey is a radical act of care and a type of haunting. Camille Hernandez navigates the shifting terrain between daughter and mother, homeland and new land, memory and body. With tenderness and grief, Motherlands explores how the severance of migration echoes the ruptures of childbirth, and how both leave behind a scarred but sacred map. #poetry #immigration #motherhood #loss
