Bornman's poetry exudes a wisdom drawn from introspection and solitude that is reminiscent of Emily Dickinson's. Bornman's poetry reveals what readers of scripture should have seen all along: motherhood is central to the biblical narrative. She draws upon Biblical imagery-water and fire, bleeding and cleansing, birth and crucifixion-to audaciously poeticize her own experience as a mother through her pregnancy, labor, and the birth of her first child.
