Poetry books on mothering recommendations

[TiredButTerrific]

Hello ! I’m mum to a 2 year old and wanted to buy myself a poetry book on the parenting journey/mothering journey for the upcoming Mothering Sunday. Hopefully something that evokes all the emotions the journey has brought-the awww/lovey feeling that I have so often, the tears and the laugh/chuckle. Seeing some Jess Urlichs and Loryn Brantz on social media but not able to choose. Any recommendations ?

Liz Berry. Most definitely. Her ‘republic of motherhood’ has the whole range in one poem. She does a fair few events and she is incredibly generous with her time and attention. Home child is an amazing book of hers but not so much on the fuzzy warm feeling side.

Think this is out of print, but:

Jessica Urlichs

These are great https://amzn.eu/d/0az70moD

Nobody Told Me by Holly McNish. Loryn Bantz is good on Instagram but I don’t think I’d need a whole book by her, she’s quite repetitive.

Ana Sampson - Night Feeds and Morning Songs - it’s a brilliant anthology https://amzn.eu/d/0iY1uG7u
