Product description

Tricia Anderson, has produced this moving collection of poems and drawings about her experience of having terminal cancer. Darkly emotive at times, the poems remain honest and are ultimately about the experiences of loss and grief, pain and joy, capitulation and triumph that we all share. Sadly, as the book was about to go to press, Tricia died peacefully in her sleep whilst on holiday in Spain with her husband.

A proportion of the profits will go to The Tricia Anderson Award for Midwives.  This is a new award that will be established and administered through the Iolanthe Midwifery Trust, a charity that aims to promote the care of women, their babies and families through awarding grants in support of midwifery education and practice. The final details of Tricia’s award have to be confirmed, but its focus will be to support midwives who wish to promote normality in birth, breastfeeding, or the use of art and music in midwifery.
