Timely and thought-provoking, @Nancy_Reddy unpacks and debunks the bad ideas that have for too long defined what it means to be a "good" #mom. @StMartinsPress https://t.co/RTdUveTg3l #ad #StevosNovelIdeas #motherhood

“The Good Mother Myth” author Nancy Reddy (@nancy_reddy) takes down some of our most seemingly infallible ideas about parenting.

So excited to have gotten The Good Mother Myth from my pre-orders. So thrilled for @nancy_reddy and can't WAIT to dive in! Follow Nancy for great writing advice and ideas, and nab this book! 📕 #reading

On @MacKenzieSelina's 'Lifestyles' from 14.00CET, a re-run of @dr_mattmorgan's 'One Medicine: How understanding animals can save our lives', and @nancy_reddy with 'The Good Mother Myth: Unlearning Our Bad Ideas about How to Be a Good Mom'

anyone else feel like the "what is happening?!" is reading extra frantic in light of . . . all this???

my TL;DR for the book--goodness is a scam but actual kids can be pretty great. (but read the whole thing for nuanced history & also lots of weeping!)

y'all the famously grumpy KIRKUS had kind words about my next book, THE GOOD MOTHER MYTH: "a refreshingly honest book that challenges the problematic ideals of motherhood." https://t.co/foFMAacMhY

I watched a good chunk of the first season of Revenge with my mom earlier this month as she was recovering from surgery, and I may just dive back in until something better happens

Over at @The_Millions, @nancy_reddy and @EmilyVanDuyne talk about all the clerical labor Sylvia Plath did for Ted Hughes, anger as a necessary tool for survival, and that time Sylvia ate an entire lasagna when her hosts were out on a walk.

less advice, more support and community! (for new parents but also honestly for everyone)

"A refreshingly honest book that challenges the problematic ideals of motherhood." a wonderful first trade review for @nancy_reddy's THE GOOD MOTHER MYTH, coming to your bookshelf in January from @StMartinsPress!

my interview with @EmilyVanDuyne about the Plath we don't know, ranging from the time a pregnant Plath ate an entire meatloaf at W. S. Merwin's French farmhouse to why she sees the Ariel poems as "funny and stark and weird and magical and fucking furious" https://t.co/bVrrzfHIz5

the year I spent at Trinity changed so much for me as a writer and a person--I spent so many hours reading in this library, and I'm so thrilled to see it renamed after a poet whose work I spent so much time with that year!
