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 *
