Belly is an innovative Australian made journal for pregnant women, showcasing contemporary literature and visual arts around the themes of pregnancy, birth and early motherhood. Filled with unique imagery and poems, it makes a beautiful gift for yourself or a friend. Plenty of blank pages makes it a unique way to record your own experiences. Soft cover and spiral bound for easy handling.

"Finally, an Australian publication which honours and celebrates the beauty of the pregnant body and the sacred nature of pregnancy and birth. Sarah Nicholson has created a journal full of inspiring works from artists, poets, photographers and writers all around the country who have been touched and inspired by their own initiation into the ancient mysteries and creative power of the female body." review by Earthmama's web

Poetry extract from Belly

As I hold you in the crook of my arm, in the deadened city morning,
the low hum of electricity is this grey pre dawns greeting song,
tiny man.

I observe the translucence of your skin,
a long blue vein,
flecks of gold in your sleep thickened lash,
a sea shell ear.

My hands are old under your tiny mitts,
soft as silken pockets and deep warm
your hand holds my finger,
as your tongue presses my nipple for milk.


Sarah Nicholson
