Big Money Porno Mommy — Catherine Weiss
Big Money Porno Mommy asserts that desire is worth taking seriously—even when it makes us uncomfortable. This collection, grounded by a series of poems all titled “The Phone Sex Poem,” explores the author’s complex relationship to sex and power from childhood through adulthood, and how this tenuous balance relates to her decision to not become a mother. Big Money Porno Mommy offers no easy answers, but instead asks the reader to consider their relationships to porn, parenting, body, and innocence in hard-hitting, often very funny poems.
