Maternal Potential treads the line between auto-fiction and social commentary; the larger topic here is bodily autonomy. The protagonist, a thirty-something-year-old sex worker, begins by contemplating motherhood before herself brushing against it. A chapbook, 2025.
Format: 10 chapters of gestation in various point sizes
"Maternal Potential is a cunt-shaped minefield. It makes fetal tissue into lyric and gags god with a cervix. Latham writes like she’s sawing off the leg the patriarchy gnawed through. It’s post-abortion punk scripture, contra-madonnagospel for the bastards, sluts, and mothers-of-nil. I read it and bled."
