Veronica Moule skilfully weaves her poetic magic with art, myth and medicine to guide birthing women and their caregivers on this wild journey.
- Sarah Buckley, Physician , birth worker, mother and wise woman
This book is so much more than a collection of poems, it's a doctor talking and a mother talking, about her fight against the system she works within, fighting for women's rights for a physiological birth.Veronica's mythopoetic language and the ancient stories she draws from, highlight the patriarchal journey that birth has gone on, to a place of control rather than trust. She takes us on a journey from exultation and love, to loss and grief and everything in between.
- Jane Hardwicke Collings, Midwife
