"There's a life that the page gives": Writings on Miscarriage and Infant Loss

Back in July, I took part in a conversation with the editors of What God Is Honored Here and some of the other contributing writers for the University of Minnesota Press podcast. It was a genuine honor to be included in the conversation. The more I hear from the women who made this anthology possible - the editors and the writers, the more grateful I am to be heard among their voices. Click here to give it a listen.

Miscarriage and infant loss are experiences that disproportionately affect Indigenous women and women of color. WHAT GOD IS HONORED HERE? is the first book of its kind, a literary collection of voices of these women coming together to speak about the traumas and tragedies of womanhood. "We are talking about equity. We are talking about racism. We are talking about all of the things that we’ve been needing to talk about. This work is only still beginning," says co-editor Kao Kalia Yang, who is joined here by co-editor Shannon Gibney and writers Michelle Borok, Soniah Kamal, Jami Nakamura Lin, and Seema   Reza. This edited conversation was recorded in July 2020.
