Welcome to episode FOUR of the Re-Imagining Motherhood podcast - a GIFT for you on Mother’s Day!
I am thrilled to bring you Victoria Bailey, Ph.D., the creative, inspiring artist-scholar that uses poetry and creative writing as a form of activism. In this BONUS Mother’s Day episode, Dr. Bailey reads one of her latest poems, “All The Ways, Always–An Ode to Mother Blame”. Grab your tissue and expect to feel seen, heard, validated in your experience of Mothering today and then inspired and with conviction that indeed, Mothers hold the power of change within themselves and that love, acceptance, respect and kindness can be the pillars of Re-Imagining Motherhood for ourselves and one another.
Episode Summary:
Dr. Bailey’s work leaves me speechless - and it was a given that her poetry needed to be shared on Mother’s Day with us all. In this episode, Dr. Bailey shares her poem and then, after I collect myself from the raw emotion her words reveal in me, we further discuss her intention behind her creative writing and her hopes for what it means for ALL of us to Re-Imagine Motherhood together.
Additional episode resources:
You can find Dr. Bailey’s co-edited book, “Coming Into Being” on the Demeter Press website here and other poems published via this journal.
Dr. Bailey’’s full bio:
Dr. Victoria Bailey is a feminist artist-scholar. She is passionate about creative writing, creative-critical practice-based research, motherhood studies, and feminism – particularly matricentric feminism – and how these topics, methods, and related issues can and do intersect with, and impact, each other. She has a Creative Writing PhD by practice from Teesside University, UK, the research for which focused on reclaiming and representing the herstory of single mothers in fiction, inspired and informed by motherline stories. She also has an MA in Women’s Studies from the Centre for Women’s Studies at the University of York, UK. Her research for this program focused on the representation of single mothers in Canadian news articles.
Dr. Bailey’s poetry has been included in a wide range of publications including anthologies, journals, and magazines. She is co-editor, along with Dr. Andrea O’Reilly and Dr. Fiona Joy Green, of the Demeter Press anthology Coming Into Being: Mothers on Finding and Realizing Feminism, which includes her short collection of poetry, “Colostrum.” Her non-fiction writing has been included in feminist magazines Herizons and the f word, and she wrote about single parenting for Calgary’s Child magazine for over a decade. She has also designed and delivered creative writing courses and workshops focusing on mothers, motherlines, and writing. Dr. Bailey is also a feminist mother of three, a yoga teacher (she is the author of the yoga text, Sharing Sadhana), and she loves libraries, dogs, tea, and long walks in equal measure.
