These Mothers of Gods cover

Bower seeks to recover the lived experiences of women who have often appeared only fleetingly in official histories. This poetry pushes towards a more expansive understanding of 'motherhood', inclusive of broader urgent issues about gender and our collective responsibilities for lives, environments and natural worlds.

Yorkshire Post: *"visceral, honest and true" *


Yorkshire Times: "Rachel Bower has the capacity to unbutton emotion in one killing phrase".


“These image-rich verses are poems of intense curiosity and beauty.​​​​​​​” - Jason Allen-Paisant, Author of Thinking with Trees


“I am grateful to Bower for finding these women - historical, biblical, autobiographical – and offering me such inventive, arresting poems, brim-full with blistering truths.”- Rebecca Goss, Poet
