Following on from Be Mine, the moving collection of pieces on love and marriage, On Birth rejoices in the arrival of a new addition to the family. A period of great upheaval and change, this anthology not only celebrates but also reassures in what is both a joyful and reflective time. On Birth offers a wonderful selection of poems, readings and prose dedicated to welcoming new life, as well as pieces perfect for times of quiet contemplation. Exploring the vast, exhilarating and sometimes frightening landscape that parents - or any member of the family - will journey across, this collection promises to follow the course.
