She realised that women were always quietly sharing their stories—in living rooms with a mug of tea, or whispered at the preschool playground. She saw the intensity with which women listened to each other's stories. They were shared, remembered, retold, but not collected, not treated as the art form they are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWall began asking for, and collecting, birth stories: women sent her emails, handed her their journals, and recorded their own voices. She collected stories from a lesbian couple, a story from an indigenous father who is fighting for his language, and a story from a grandmother. Some of the stories are about difficult and painful births: a woman who had a miscarriage, a woman unable to get pregnant. And some of the stories are beautiful: a birth in water that happened exactly as the mother dreamed it would.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWall has taken these stories and shaped them into poems, and then into this collection, \u003cem\u003eBreaking into Air\u003c\/em\u003e, offering the reader a look into the stories that women, for centuries, have been quietly sharing with each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47460523802860,"sku":"9781597099233","price":34.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781597099233-breaking-into-air.jpg?v=1774947690"},{"product_id":"all-panic-no-disco-by-emily-wall-9798881606473","title":"All Panic No Disco","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEmbrace the chaos of life with these hilariously cute embroidery patterns featuring your favourite critters—raccoons, possums, and other little guys who are also going through it.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis collection is for anyone who has ever said “it is what it is” while actively spiralling.
