My Mother Said Write
is a poetic memoir born from the ashes of depression, uncertainty, and the relentless demands of new motherhood. In these pages, Egypt English invites women-especially African American mothers, first-time moms, and wives-to walk with her from the suffocating weight of "Hell on earth" into the light of self-awareness, healing, and divine feminine sovereignty.
Through raw and luminous verse, Egypt traces her shadow work-navigating the darkness of postpartum despair, identity shifts, and relationship trials-until she emerges, unburied and whole. This is not simply poetry. It is a lifeline for women ready to rise, reclaim their power, and remember that even in the deepest night, there is a dawn that belongs to them.
