From the publisher
the heart is a holding is a visceral journey through birth, life and death cycles across personal, intergenerational and ancestral time. Moving through landscapes of spirituality, earth futurity and memory it is a calling to embody the current moment through the ever present hauntings of social-climate injustices and apocalyptic reality. Lateisha seeks healing through the lens of survivorship and legacy. As transformation. As the gathering of love, holding and dignity for Black mothers, earthworkers and care-givers beyond gendering, beyond racialisation, beyond this time. Weaving life-giving reflections, love letters and funeral rites together as imprints of belonging. Expressing multidimensional ways of being, across the realms of Blackness, queerness, disability and working-class immigrant and diasporic experience as conduits to call in the powers of lineage, survivorship and purpose.
