@lgoodbu Lesley, this was already powerful, and the mirroring adds another dimension. It reminds me how cyclical a journey can feel, & also how the journey can bring a new perspective on emotions we return to. Such a courageous and beautifully-worded reflection. x

There's also a writing & singing workshop at @ExeterLibrary the day after, book your place here:

The next @MilkPoetry event is Mon 5 Aug @WardrobeTheatre - the perfect gentle landing to counter those end of bank holiday blues.

Happy Day of the Midwife! As a premature baby I'm here because of the specialist care I received on day one of my life.
It was a delight to create this poem, woven from verbatim threads in convo with Deirdre Fowler, Chief Nurse & Midwife at @uhbwNHS
Thank you @bwhospcharity x

[UHBW Arts & Culture @ArtsUHBW]

To celebrate #dayofthemidwife, our Chief Nurse, Deirdre Fowler, worked with Trust Poet @bethcalverley
to create this beautiful poem in 2023.
A huge thank you to all midwives at @uhbwNHS and beyond today! 💙
Beth's residency is supported by @bwhospcharity

@DaveMartin46 Lovely to meet you and hear about your group, which sounds like a safely-held breath of fresh vulnerability in the open air x

@joshuaseigal @Lizpoet thank you!

[Beth Calverley @BethCalverley]

@Lizpoet thanks for sharing!

[Beth Calverley @BethCalverley]

Since it's more fun to write poems with people than add copy to my website, it's been on my to do list for ages... until now! Please share with anyone in healthcare, community events, placemaking, workplace support, or weddings. Built by @MattRibbins 🕸️📍https://t.co/IeOBCbENP2
