Baby Friendly Event
Bring your baby* for a gentle hour of grown-up poetry especially for new parents and carers. Take a moment to slow down and settle in to hear award-winning poet Liz Berry read from her work in a baby-friendly space this National Poetry Day. This relaxed, baby-friendly event is designed for new parents — with poems for them, rather than nursery rhymes for the little ones!
*Pre-walkers and pre-talkers.
“I crossed the border into the Republic of Motherhood
and found it a queendom, a wild queendom.”
From The Republic of Motherhood by Liz Berry
