“Catherine Pierce’s Foxes for Everybody is a pitch-perfect rendering of early parenthood, and the writing is so gorgeous it made my throat catch. This book reminded me that our lives are like poems: compressed, shimmering with possibility, and containing so much despite their brevity that we need to look again, and deeper, and deeper again.” —Maggie Smith, New York Times best-selling author of You Could Make This Place Beautiful

“Pierce, a most gifted poet, now turns to exquisite essays to gracefully remind us how time might fool even the most careful and observant. I'm so grateful for these thoughtful meditations, especially because this book is such a gift—prompting us to cherish every cardinal, bee, and cloud.” —Aimee Nezhukumatathil, author of Bite by Bite and World of Wonders

“Pierce’s Foxes for Everybody meditates on motherhood as an experience characterized by perpetual anxiety, feral love, and constant engagement with pressing intellectual, emotional, and spiritual questions. Vivid and immersive, this book carries readers beyond a mere recitation of the toils and delights of parenthood and into a place where parenting becomes a seed for deep and serious grappling with ethics and social responsibility. Pierce brings together the mind, body, and heart as she reflects on the terror of letting yourself love totally and completely. Foxes for Everybody is a beautiful, wise book you won’t be able to put down.”  —Kathryn Nuernberger, author of Held: Essays in Belonging
