August 19, 2014. August 19, 2014. A piece I wrote for a personal essay competition with the Castlemaine Word Mine. The theme was ‘food.’ I wanted to somehow incorporate the role of mother’s milk into our understanding of ‘food.’ The meeting I was heading to was a meeting of the local branch of the Australian Breastfeeding Association, a lifeline for me at the time. Can I have one mum? I cast an eye around the kitchen. An upturned bag of flour spreads its remaining contents across the bench, diverted ...
