Abstract: The article discusses themes of motherhood, loss, and spirituality in the writings of Mary Carey including the poem "Upon Ye Sight of My Abortive Birth" and the prose meditation "Betwixt the Soul and the Body." The author's assertion that Carey's work represents a concept of genealogy outside the patrilineal structure of 17th-century families is also explored.
