Embracing Motherhood and Poetry with Kate Baer

Want your heart to skip a beat? Danusia Malina-Derben sits down with poet Kate Baer—three-time New York Times bestselling author of What Kind of Woman, I Hope This Finds You Well, and her latest, And Yet. They get real about everything from raw realities to anger simmering beneath the surface.   Kate opens up about finding her voice amidst parenting, the poets who inspire her (think Mary Oliver and Sharon Olds), and tackling taboo topics with honesty and wit (yes, including poems like "The Pope's Penis"). They delve into the visceral experience of being a woman today, the societal pressures we face, and why it's high time mothers' voices are heard and valued.   If you're ready for a conversation that cuts deep into the soul of womanhood and leaves you feeling seen and understood, this episode is a must-listen.   Discover more from us: • Join PWT community on Substack • Follow us on Instagram • Connect with Danusia • Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts • Advertising Inquiries here   Credits: • Hosted by Danusia Malina-Derben • Edited, Mixed + Mastered by Marie Kruz • Cover art by Anthony Oram
