Flanked by Jo Eades #poets and a pair of singing

and a pair of singing blackbirds tenderly expose the secret to marital compatibility and compromise

arresting and socially charged voices to emerge from out the current wave of British poetry

as well as including uncollected poems from that period which only appeared in anthologies

and question marks sharpened like knives

their nuclear weapons dominating the landscapes where medieval dancers once celebrated pagan rites in midnight graveyards

Flanked by Jo Eades #poets and a pair of singingFrom the horrors of toddler classes to the complexities of grief, Flanked is a smorgasbord of maternal experience and emotion. A scrutiny of motherhood across generations and an exploration of loss as both heart wrenching and liberating. Tinged with doubt, regret, guilt, acceptance, joy and love, Flanked captures the intricate dynamics of mother daughter relationships where roles morph and history repeats.
