How is the role of motherhood linked with guilt within the poetry memoir and how does this linking depict feminist themes?

In a poem called “lost boys,” Anderson explains how her mother had lost five sons in total before giving birth to her sole daughter. All of these pregnancies had made it to the second trimester before ending in miscarriage. In addition to portraying her mother’s sadness at this turn of events, Anderson also depicts her father’s “six decades” of “disappointment” (274).
