Motherhood brings profound change — offering immense joy and fulfilment, as well as many challenges.
It can be a time of great solidarity, creativity, and new thinking about what it means to be a woman, a parent, or even a child. For poet Erica Hesketh, whose debut collection In the Lily Room publishes in May, becoming a mum is what helped her find her poetic voice.
In this welcoming poetry workshop for mothers of all kinds, Erica will share inspiring poems and offer prompts to spark new writing, helping you express your unique experiences of motherhood.
