Mama Ocean by Neptune Naiadis
"Mama Ocean" explores the relationship between a teenage mother and her son, Ocean, her trauma & postpartum depression. The poem thematically conveys elements of familial abandonment, teenage motherhood, depression, sexual assault - and birth as a result. The piece traverses her psyche, travelling from the beginning of innocence to the loss through metaphoric and allegoric language.
