I've got a fabulous guest today, Neonatologist and poet Beth Osmond, talking about her gorgeous collection, Hatchery. This is an utterly, utterly gorgeous collection of beautiful poems, mainly inspired by Beth's career as a Neonatologist.
It is thought provoking, it is funny.,it is gentle, it is deep. There are so many things I could say about it. It is utterly, utterly lovely. Please, please buy yourself a copy. You can buy this direct from the publishers or you could obviously and nip down to your local bookshop and buy it that way instead if you would prefer.
It has been such a joy to talk to Beth and to hear a couple of the poems. It was very difficult for us to choose which two she should share. And there are so many lovely ones, but I'm hoping we will leave you wanting more, loving these poems and wanting to buy your own copy.
