This is a post for my paid community, and a taster is offered for free subscribers. I’ve seen lots of criticism of this recently, and want to begin by saying I’m sorry if this feels annoying/ unfair. My reason for doing this is that I personally subscribe to substacks based on having had a taster read, so I imagine others appreciate too. I so much appreciate all of you here, and as usual if you can’t afford a subscription but would appreciate one, reach out.

Morning beauties, and RABBIT RABBIT!March is here, and I am so ready for her…I am over the moon to share that this Monday 3rd March I am in conversation with the incredible Helen Jukes, 12-12.45 pm GMT on zoom. We will discuss her new cracking, life-changing, gorgeous book MOTHER ANIMAL. I was held by this book in the early days of my second pregnancy this autumn into winter , and , in many ways, it spoke deeply to me as I navigated both the growing and the losing of my baby.

Illustration from Elsa Beskow’s CHILDREN OF THE FORESTBeautiful friends, I am writing to you from a kind of dream like state, and it feels wild, and strange, and oddly intimate. The night before last, for I think the sixth time this year, while I was by the fire working on my eerie little novella (more on this soon), we lost all our power. Upstairs, then, to bed, candle in hand, and wilds howling like the banshee.

This is a post for paid subscribers. It mentions baby loss, as well as mothers, birth and death. Each of these in their own ways may hold possible grief for you, so please hold yourself tenderly. Here we are, two days after astronomical imbolc, midway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. Thin time. Turning place. Cusp moment. Liminal season. How are you feeling, in your own self? In the original coracle of your body; your woven, miraculous cellular form? How is the weather where you are?
