Praise for the chapbook:

SOPHIE HOWARTH, author of Everyday Wonder and co-founder of The School of Life

"Playful, moving and inventive poems that describe an ever-evolving love story between mother and daughter. Gupta is an astoundingly talented new poetic 
voice. Wholehearted and multifaceted, this is a glorious collection that 
celebrates the multitude of ways mother-daughter love can be expressed."

T. DE LOS REYES, author of And Yet Held

ANUJA JAISWAL, mother, sister, niece, and writer

"This collection captures the essence of so many shared experiences between mothers and daughters, the roles we play and how women disappear in their roles. 
It is also about witnessing your mother being capable of an unbounded life. 
Most of all, this collection is exceptionally special to me because of 
who it’s about."

T. DE LOS REYES, author of And Yet Held

"In my mother is a mixed metaphor, Shivani Gupta refuses the tidy immigrant 
daughter narrative. Through turmeric-stained memories and long-distance voice 
notes, Gupta writes with startling specifi city—moving between wit and 
wound—about loving her mother fi ercely while choosing a life thousands of 
miles away. This is brown daughterhood as inquiry, a collection that insists we can be both like and unlike our mothers and still keep 'reaching, reaching, 
reaching.'"
