Our Lady of Thread

poems by Dayna Patterson

In Dayna Patterson’s third collection, she weaves together three threads: poems in the voice of God the Mother, prayer poems in the Catholic “Our Lady” tradition, and poems about mothering her own two kids through these fluctuating and anxious times. Our Lady of Thread pushes the boundaries of what a poetry collection can be—it includes embroidered collages, poembroideries (poem + embroidery), and a QR code that links readers to a stop-motion videopoem. In these inventive and experimental pieces, Patterson continues to wrestle with Mormon theology and history as she meditates on the feminine divine, motherhood, and the urgencies of our complex world.
