Sharing a stunning poem from BYCATCH by @csmithpoet.bsky.social

'A beautiful collection. Smith’s precise, unsentimental language evokes the different stages of losing a parent, all the while reminding us that heartbreak is a measure of love.'– Kamila Shamsie

Caroline Smith and Erica Hesketh in dialog during the Q&A

Later, in the Q&A, Erica talked about the kinds of conversations you can have with poems. Caroline spoke of writing not as therapy but as a way of processing events. And also, about having to distance herself from events in order to write about them. Relatable.

A gift of an evening. #poetry

Wembley Library, London

Caroline Smith reads from 'Bycatch'

It was a treat to attend the launch of @csmithpoet.bsky.social's collection, 'Bycatch'. Wembley Library held a lovely event on the theme of caring - from birth to decline. Erica Hesketh was invited to read from her collection 'In the Lily Room', on motherhood. Caroline's work illuminates dementia.
