Tamara Sellman
Tamara Kaye Sellman is the mother of two daughters ages 8 and 11. Both became published poets by the age of 6. Sellman endured a minor case of postpartum depression following the Caesarean birth of her first daughter; “Apparent Suicide” is one attempt by her to capture the dark matter of that experience. Her writing on pregnancy and motherhood has appeared widely, including hip mama, The North American Review, Other Voices, Peralta Press and Quarterly West.
