Flanked by Jo Eades #poets with a disarming intimacy andFrom the horrors of toddler classes to the complexities of grief, Flanked is a smorgasbord of maternal experience and emotion.

Tinged with doubt, regret, guilt, acceptance, joy and love, Flanked captures the intricate dynamics of mother daughter relationships where roles morph and history repeats.
