On SALE now! Pre-order Price Guarantee: https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/my-limbs-a-cradle-my-whisper-a-song-by-cathy-gilbert/

My Limbs a Cradle, my Whisper a Song explores #motherhood and #loss through #poems that reveal the bittersweet truths of raising infants and the devastation of losing a parent to #dementia. Whether contemplating the stars, stirring a pot of soup at the stove, watching a child learn to press their feet to the floor and rise, or stumbling over a mother’s inability to recognize her own daughter, these poems try and try again to focus on small moments in order to stay grounded through a time of great upheaval. #Parent/child #relationships reverse and transform as the poet learns how to mother through the slow loss of her own mother and her memories.

Cathy Gilbert received her MA from the Master of Arts Program in the Humanities at the University of Chicago. She now lives in Central Illinois where she is a Professor of English at Heartland Community College and mother to twins. Her poems and essays have previously appeared in Hobart, decomP, and Peoria Magazine.

PRAISE FOR My Limbs a Cradle, My Whisper a Song by Cathy Gilbert

Cathy Gilbert’s My Limbs a Cradle, my Whisper a Song beautifully deals with the big issues—life and death and the murky in-between of a mother with dementia. Gilbert grapples with the death of her parents and the birth of twins. (Of the latter, she writes “The blood stayed/under my fingernails/for three days.”) These poems of domestic space honor a couple busy with chores children, “occupied/ with the raising of small people,/our hands filled with their wriggling, instead of each others’.” These poems honor what it is to be a family.

–DENISE DUHAMEL, author of Second Story and Scald (University of Pittsburgh Press)

The sublime and ordinary tangle beautifully in My Limbs a Cradle, My Whisper a Song, a collection that celebrates the nuances of parenting and grief with unending empathy. Gilbert ably captures the burning urgency and quiet hours of motherhood with grace and keen insight. Vivid, intimate imagery breathes through each poem, creating a stunning meditation on how to hold fragile moments without shattering them. This luminous chapbook is an essential read for mothers everywhere.

–THAO THAI, author of Banyan Moon (Mariner Books)

These poems form a perfect chapbook, reminding us of the pleasure of reading a collection in one sitting. Gilbert’s unflinching look at grief and joy will stay with readers for a long time. The way space can be both too full and too empty, the way the past can be present, and the present future, are at the metaphoric core of these poems. And her language (the description of the air below her son’s heels, as he stands on tiptoe for the first time, is absolutely gorgeous) brings those ideas into immediate, profound clarity. What a joy to read!

–JENNIFER RANE HANCOCK, author of Between Hurricanes (Lithic Press)

Glenn Maxwell Set To Quit Melbourne Stars Captaincy Role

Glenn Maxwell: Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has decided to relinquish the captaincy of the Melbourne Stars. The announcement comes in the wake of the Stars' failure to secure a spot in the finals for the fourth consecutive year, says a report.According to cricket.com.au Maxwell shared his decision with the Stars' squad after a narrow seven-run defeat to the Hobart Hurricanes in their final game of KFC BBL 13. Despite a commendable effort in the middle of the season, where they secured four consecutive victories, the Stars stumbled in their last three games, sealing their fate outside the finals race. The 33-year-old Maxwell took charge of the Stars ahead of BBL 08, succeeding John Hastings as captain. In his five seasons at the helm, Maxwell led the team to the final in his first two seasons but couldn't secure the elusive title, succumbing to the Renegades and the Sixers in BBL 08 and BBL 09, respectively. Maxwell's captaincy record stands at 35 wins and 31 losses, with the dynamic all-rounder missing the entire BBL 12 season due to a broken leg. His decision to step down from captaincy doesn't mark the end of his association with the Stars, as he remains contracted with the team until the conclusion of BBL 15. The search for Maxwell's successor is already underway, and Marcus Stoinis emerges as a potential candidate. Stoinis, who filled in for Maxwell when he was sidelined with a torn forearm muscle earlier in the season, is, however, currently out of contract. Reflecting on the season and Maxwell's leadership, the Stars' new English coach, Peter Moores, expressed his admiration for the outgoing captain. Despite a frustrating end to the season, Moores commended Maxwell for his enthusiasm and drive, especially after the highs of the recent World Cup. Moores told Fox Cricket during the Stars' final match against the Hurricanes that he'd loved his first year in the Big Bash, albeit with a "frustrating" finish after failing to take their chance of qualifying for the finals. He also said Maxwell had been "fantastic to work with" as captain. Maxwell, in a pre-match interview before the clash with the Hurricanes, acknowledged the team's progress under Moores' coaching. He emphasized the need to start the tournament better, addressing a historical issue, and praised Moores for instilling a sense of calm in the dressing room. "I feel like we've made some really good strides this year," he told Fox Cricket. 'Mooresy' has been an outstanding addition as coach and the level of calm he's spread throughout the changeroom has been outstanding. "We've just got to find a way to start the tournament better, and it's been an issue that we've had for a long period of time. "But the fact that we were able to turn it around and get those wins through the middle was a sign that we are moving in the right direction, we've just got to try and do that for a little bit longer."

Glenn Maxwell resigns from the captaincy of the Melbourne Stars

Glenn Maxwell has resigned from the captaincy of the Melbourne Stars following the club's failure to make the BBL finals. Maxwell told his teammates following the final game of the season's against the Hobart Hurricanes.

By then, they were out of the race for finals following the Adelaide Strikers' victory over the Sydney Thunder after they lost control of their own fate by losing to the Melbourne Renegades.

Maxwell has two years left to run on his current contract. This season, he smashed 243 runs at 34.71 and a strike-rate of 173.57, although his top score was an unbeaten 35 while claiming seven wickets.

The Stars are one of only two clubs, along with the Hurricanes, never to have won the BBL. They have been runner-up three times, including back-to-back in 2018-19 and 2019-20, and had the BBL8 title within their grasp before an astonishing collapse against the Renegades.

During the final game of the season, Maxwell said, "We left our run in someone else's hands, which is never what you want to do in this game.”

"After the first couple of years of having so much dominance and not being able to get over that final hurdle, it feels like the last four years of out-of-finals contention are quite frustrating.

"We feel like we've had a good enough list; we probably haven't had enough luck with injuries, timing, or replacements, and it just all seems to compound on itself."

Peter Moores, who is the former coach of England, was in his first season at the club and praised the impact of Maxwell on the club.

[ad_1] Cricketer Nikhil Chaudhary is living a dream. The 27-year-old all-rounder from Ludhiana, Punjab, is currently representing Hobart Hurricanes in the ongoing Australian T20 Big Bash League (BBL), becoming only the second Indian to do so after Unmukt Chand two years ago. Nikhil Chaudhary Chaudhary also met his childhood hero Brett Lee during the former Australian pacer's commentary stint in the league and was over the moon. "I started as a fast bowler when I started playing cricket and copied Lee's action. I wanted to become an accomplished quickie like him. However, it did not last long and I eventually became leggie. I am enjoying playing in the BBL after toiling hard in Australia for three-and-a-half years. Me and Lee chatted during an interaction in Hindi as well," said Chaudhary, who cracked a 30-ball 40 against Perth Scorchers on debut. Wrap up the year gone by & gear up for 2024 with HT! Click here His power-hitting abilities are coming to the fore in the league. "I did not know I was getting a chance to play against Perth Scorchers. At the last moment, Mattew Wade got injured and I was his replacement in the playing XI," remembered Chaudhary, who worked as a delivery boy for Australia Post for two years before he signed up for Hobart Hurricanes. Chaudhary came into the spotlight after he clobbered Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf for a six over cover point en route his 32 off just 16 balls against Melbourne Stars. He has also been among wickets thanks to his handy leg spin. Chaudhary was born in Delhi but his family moved to Ludhiana when he was two years old. His cricket journey started under the tutelage of coach Charanjit Banghu who trained him to become an all-rounder. Having played for Punjab U-16s and U-19s, Chaudhary earned a reputation as an all-rounder and went on to make his List-A (Vijay Hazare Trophy) and T20 (Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy) debut in 2017 under Harbhajan Singh's captaincy. "I was doing well for Punjab at that age and was aiming for a Ranji Trophy debut. But destiny had planned something else for me," added Chaudhary, who moved to Brisbane for a holiday in March 2020 with his uncle. However, as travelling restrictions came into force due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Chaudhary ended up spending more time in Australia than planned. "When I realised I could not travel back to Ludhiana for some months I was confused. But then cricket being my first love I started playing at the local level. Impressed by my skills, I got selected for Southern Suburbs Brisbane and that is when my real cricket journey started in Australia," said Chaudhary, who was a replacement player for Brisbane Heat for two seasons but had not got a chance to play in the BBL. It was Southern Suburbs coach and former Australian pacer James Hopes who recommended Chaudhary's name for Hobart Hurricanes for the ongoing BBL. "James thought I should be part of the BBL this season as I had a good domestic season. And I got the contract," added Chaudhary. Hopes is the Hurricanes' bowling coach in the league. Chaudhary tried to be part of the Indian Premier League (IPL) by appearing for Mumbai Indians (MI) trials twice but could not crack it. His friends from Punjab cricket, such as Arshdeep Singh, Harpreet Brar, Siddharth Kaul, and Nehal Wadhera, all are part of the IPL and Chaudhary enjoys speaking to them about the Indian domestic league. "Right now, my focus is on the BBL and winning matches for my team. We need as many as four wins to qualify for the next stage. And if I ever get any chance to be part of the other leagues, it would be great," said Chaudhary, who is also friends with Australian cricketers of Indian origin like Gurinder Sandhu and Tanveer Sangha who are playing the BBL too.
