Bodies of Water is a breath taken underwater. Bodies of Water is memory in motion, a current carrying the stories of Black women-mothers. It is the description of the poetic pluralities of Black women in their intellectualities as they experience the world, a world born from the relationships and socialities that emerge from these waters. The book Bodies of Water reveals itself through the wisdom of the mother, grandmother, aunt, and neighborhood women (mother-neighbors) of the author, who shared mothering and waters among themselves. It is these women and these waters that make us s(w)im-alk in the Black feeling-doing, rooted in an ancestry that flows from their wombs and hearts.
