25. Mother's Milk with Poet Rachel Hunt Steenblik


Listen Later

Writer and poet Rachel Hunt Steenblik joins Sara and Jess from the other side of the globe to discuss her journey seeking the feminine divine. Rachel relates her experience doing research for the BYU Studies article "A Mother There: A Survey of Historical Teachings about Mother in Heaven". She describes how she became a poet and came to write the books Mother's Milk: Poems in search of Heavenly Mother and I Gave Her a Name, how she managed to write in the midst of raising tiny children, and what her hopes for the continued unveiling of the divine Mother look like. The introduction of Mother's Milk articulates her desire for all of us to add our voices, stating, "These are the poems that I could write with my questions, my hurt, my hope, and my reaching. Others could write other poems with theirs. I hope that they will. We need them all."
