While told often through metaphor, there is much insight into pregnancy, motherhood, and fear surrounding child death. There are also brief, metaphorical descriptions of childbirth. It is highly implied that children die in the story (

Baer describes losing a child of her own and the text possibly alludes to miscarriage/stillbirth

). There are also overall discussions of misogyny in wider society, as well as an instance of implied SA

in a poem which describes a man possibly drugging and then sleeping with a woman (consent is dubious/non-existent)
