{"product_id":"ten-poems-about-babies","title":"Ten Poems about Babies","description":"These ten poems have been chosen to help welcome a new baby into the world. They capture the joy of the new arrival, relishing the many ways in which life will be transformed and enriched. In the opening poem, the family home becomes a place of softness and calm:\n\n“We brought you lambs’ wool with a memory\nof snow, the softest corduroy, felt, muslin,\n\npapooses and clockwork. Our flat filled up\n\nwith a flock of cards…”\n\nfrom ‘Newborn’ by Jenny Pagdin\n\nNot surprisingly, sleep and interrupted sleep are recurring motifs, and there’s tender humour in trying to keep the house quiet. Who would have thought washing flapping on the line could be too loud? These irresistible poems are a reminder that with a new baby comes a whole new world.\n\nSelected and introduced by Katharine Towers.\n\nPoems by Niall Campbell, Sarala Estruch, Matthew Hollis, Jackie Kay, DH Lawrence, Sarojini Naidu, Jenny Pagdin, Christina Rossetti, Maggie Smith and Algernon Charles Swinburne.\n\nCover illustration by Sara Boccaccini Meadows.","brand":"Candlestick Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58013735387523,"sku":null,"price":7.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0797\/1438\/6230\/files\/6047058f40688ed173a332754ccebb6b40ba94e9ffcd5d35f1604ef18fc233d5.jpg?v=1778368909","url":"https:\/\/floreannspantry.myshopify.com\/products\/ten-poems-about-babies","provider":"Flore@Annspantry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
