Knut,
Warm congratulations to you and your baby-making loved one for honoring
yourselves this way!
I once wrote an articles' series on "natural" childbirth techniques, and
recall that the Bradley method was highly respected by those who used it.
My feeling, now, is that the spiritual intent of those involved in the
birthing determines the nature of all of the outcomes. And I joyfully
welcome your dear little "outcome"!
Judy

Just spent a great weekend in London and in the poetry department
picked up, among other things:
- Logue's Iliad (War Music and Cold Calls), which is so widely
acclaimed I'm afraid of simply being disappointed
- A nice fat stack of British poetry magazines unavailable on these
arctic shores (The Wolf, Arreté, The North, etc.)
- The Stuttering of Wings, by PETC's own Sheila E. Murphy
Started during the summer and still not through with:
- John Alexander Williams, Appalachia: A History
- Charles Wright, Appalachia (poems)
- The American Woodland Garden
Next after all this on the "to read" list would be Roland Barthes' "La
Préparation du roman," but I don't believe it's been translated and my
French is almost certainly not up to the task.
Last but certainly not least comes "Natural Childbirth the Bradley
Way," though as one might suspect this has little to do with poetry and
more to do with forthcoming family events...
