Synopsis

The perfect gift for Mother's Day! For those at any and all stages of motherhood.

'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.' Sophie Heawood, author of The Hungover Games

A collection of honest, fierce and beautiful poems about being a mother, from pregnancy and birth to growing up and leaving home. Curated by acclaimed anthologist Ana Sampson, Night Feeds and Morning Songs examines motherhood from all angles, capturing the mess and the madness, to the joy and the wonder.

Immerse yourself in classic verse from Carol Ann Duffy, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Jackie Kay and Sylvia Path, to poems from bold new voices Kate Baer, Liz Berry, Nikita Gill and Imogen Russell Williams to name but a few.

MEDIA REVIEWS

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
