Enjoy complimentary cocktails and a book signing! Mother Tongue, the magazine known for disrupting the motherhood media landscape, expands into book publishing with the release of its first book, EXTREME PAIN, EXTREME JOY.

This body of work has been recontextualized in book form, complete with a foreword by renowned author Angela Garbes (Essential Labor, Like a Mother), an artist Q&A with critic Gem Fletcher, and a slew of never-before-seen images that together create a timeless meditation on this fundamental human experience.

Her approach is rooted in honesty, empathy, and endless curiosity. Hailing from Martha’s Vineyard, Shannon received her MFA from the School of Visual Arts in Photography, Video and Related Media. Shannon was selected as a 2018 PDN Emerging Photographer and was named one of Magnum’s 30 under 30 (2015). She is a member of Women Photograph and her work has appeared in The New York Times, National Geographic, Die Zeit, Wall Street Journal, Time, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, People and The New Yorker. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband Roy and their daughter Charlotte. About Angela Garbes Angela Garbes is the author of Essential Labor: Mothering as Social Change, called “a landmark and a lightning storm” by The New Yorker.

Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Nation, Washington Post, and has been featured on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah and NPR’s Fresh Air. She lives with her family in Seattle. About Mother Tongue Mother Tongue was founded by co-editors Melissa Goldstein and Natalia Rachlin in 2021 and is designed by its Creative Director, Vanessa Saba. In its pages, the magazine has explored everything from America’s fear of aging women to the sci-fi future of birth and featured in-depth conversations with cultural figures including Kim Gordon, Catherine Opie, Erica Chidi and Miranda July, among others. It has published the work of leading writers including Kate Baer, Samantha Irby, Kimberly Harrington, Salamishah Tillet and poet Maggie Smith, as well as photographers such as Magdalena Wosinska, Victoria Hely-Hutchinson, Bethany Mollenkof, and Michelle Groskopf.
