I'm Learning Waiting Like It's a Skill -- Digital Download

I’m Learning Waiting Like It’s a Skill: Observations from a First Pregnancy is a short essay collection by Amy Bornman. The essays were written during Amy’s first pregnancy (2020), and edited during Amy’s second pregnancy (2023). Includes scrolling PDF and printable zine files. The essays were originally published on Amy’s blog — they have been edited for length, style, and clarity.

“I’m learning waiting like it’s a skill. I’m holding waiting like it’s something with mass and volume. I’m carrying waiting in a backpack up the hill. I’m trying to walk with waiting and it keeps stopping to lie down in the shady clover.”

To print your own zine, print the “I'm Learning Waiting Like It's a Skill-Letter.pdf” file on letter-sized paper using a printer that has automatic duplex printing. Print the cover file separately — card stock is amazing for this! Use staples or thread to bind!

Also available as a print zine! (Here!)
