Just discovered your writing and am here for this. Been working on a book-length poem about exactly these questions: day-job work as an artist, pregnancy, motherhood, the heart, longing, material comfort… This is some of the clearest no-bullshit POV I have read on the topic in a couple of years. Thanks!!
Incisive and personal. Really really loved this, and it's right at the crux of the dilemma I find myself grappling with a lot. Thank you for writing such astute cultural criticism while putting so much of yourself in the essay (perhaps that is the pinnacle of not having to choose one thing or the other).
