In Korea, a Mother Is Not Expected to Bounce Back
Why postpartum recovery is treated as a sacred, social, and bodily reality rather than a private afterthought
When I was #pregnant,
My non-Korean friends: "Have you picked a name?"
Korean friends: "So, what is your plan for Sanhujori #postpartumcare?"
That question says so much about Korea.
My new essay is about Korean postpartum care.

Photo from the early 1970s of a man on horseback negotiating the Birmingham inner ring road at Holloway Head
Iβm searching for the original and/or rights owner of this fabulous picture of Birmingham in the early 1970s. It popped up on my Instagram feed, but Iβve been unable to track it down.
Any leads? Iβm really hoping to use it in a book.

π΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ Happy St. David's Day. Before Wales had theatres, it had audiences. In the 6th century, St. David gathered crowds in fields and on hillsides to hear him speak. Churches were too small, so stories were told outdoors, shaped by rhythm, voice and gesture so everyone could follow.
