Join cartoonist and writer Becky Barnicoat and award-winning poet Liz Berry for an unmissable, intimate session exploring the chaos, wonder, and delirium of early parenthood. Becky’s darkly funny and insightful graphic memoir Cry When the Baby Cries is a glorious antidote to traditional parenting books, capturing everything from hospital bags to toddler mayhem, with honesty and wit.
Alongside her, Liz Berry shares powerful, tender poems that give voice to the transformative experience of new motherhood, from its darkest hours to its brightest joys. Together, they’ll explore how creative expression can help make sense of the wild, beautiful puzzle of parenthood.
