My favourites I think are “the other woman” by Kate Clanchy and “Labour ward prayer”......more

Quotes

I read every single poem and wished that I'd had this book when I was pregnant, and feeding a baby, and watching her grow. I longed for such a book of observations on what it is to make a human. Sophie Heawood, author of The Hungover Games

A beautiful collection, capturing that soft everyday magic of having babies - it's nice to have comradeship in this very particular type of love. Imogen Hermes Gowar, author of The Mermaid and Mrs Hancock

If any book could distil the tender furious overwhelm of motherhood, I think it's this one. Imogen Russell Williams

Ana Sampson's collection of poems is just the thing to dip into after the night-time feed. Fabulous Magazine
