In a series of journal entries, Cherrié Moraga vividly recounts her journey through pregnancy, childbirth, and the early years of lesbian parenting. Spanning from original passages to revisited and expanded retrospectives, Moraga's writings offer a profound exploration of life's delicate balance, particularly in the context of her experiences as a new mother at 40, amidst the heightened vulnerability of HIV-related mortality rates. Through these recorded dreams and reflections, Moraga vividly portrays her profound terror and unwavering resilience.
The unique challenges of queer parenting become catalysts for transformation as Moraga navigates her multifaceted roles as mother, child, lover, friend, artist, activist, and more. With an updated introduction and additional enhancements, including an afterword by Rafael Angel Moraga, this revised 25th-anniversary edition of Waiting in the Wings emerges as a thoughtful and poignant exploration, featuring prose that is sharp, evocative, and beautifully written from the distinctive voice of a beloved and unparalleled writer.
