Seeking poems and short pieces inspired by breastfeeding for World Breastfeeding Week 2011 event!
We want to see the Los Angeles breastfeeding landscape represented. We encourage diverse participation from all across the spectrum – nursing mothers, partners and families of nursing mothers, health professionals, lactivists, anyone who can remember and verbalize their experience being breastfed! Your experience can be past, current or future. The more voices, the more experiences, the more truths, the more stories - the better!
Written pieces should be:
– related to and ultimately positive towards breastfeeding (doesn't have to be literal or sugar-coated)
– short (performed in 3 mins)
– no crazy foul or violent language as youngsters may be present
– if you are not comfortable performing your piece, we have hosts available to read for you
