    She has taken her passive pigeon poor,
    She has buried him down and down.
    He never shall sally to Sally
    Nor soil any roofs of the town.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    The myths about what we’re supposed to feel as new mothers run strong and deep. . . . While joy and elation are surely present after a new baby has entered our lives, it is also within the realm of possibility that other feelings might crop up: neediness, fear, ambivalence, anger.
    —Sally Placksin (20th century)
