Rhiannon and Alex delve into the poetry in dictionary definitions and the silences in films as Alex has been watching the yet-to-be-released adaption of Deborah Levy’s book Hot Milk. Rhiannon shares a beautiful poem that gives space for calm and organisation without imposing it. We discuss resolving conflict as demonstrated in the glorious and informative storytelling and debates of The Rest is History podcast. And finally we explore the labour of motherhood through Emma Barnett’s fantastic book Maternity Service.
