Beautiful Changelings by Maxine Beneba Clarke
Maxine Beneba Clarke's beautiful changelings explores the transformations of women's lives, including growth, work, joy, exhaustion, and defiance.
Across four sections, Clarke examines what it means to navigate womanhood under pressure, finding grace and survival in her musical, furious, and caring language.
"the half they hold up's heavier"
This reworking of the old saying "Women hold up half the sky" captures the weight of feminine labor, particularly during the pandemic when caregiving, home life, and endurance became intertwined.
The poem is both exacting and compassionate, finding poetry in fatigue.
