Hatchery - Beth Osmond

Welcome to Bedside Reading, the podcast for bibliophile healthcare professionals who want to get some accidental CPD and ideas for their to-read pile.

I'm Tara George, GP, educator and compulsive reader and book buyer.

Join me on your morning run, on your dog walk, whilst you're doing the washing up, or snuggle on the sofa with a lap full of kittens and a cup of tea.

It's great to have you here

with me.

I've got a fabulous guest today, neonatologist and poet Beth Osmond, and we're talking about her gorgeous collection, Hatchery.

which came out in May.

So it's very hot off the press.

This is an utterly, utterly gorgeous collection of beautiful poems, mainly inspired by Beth's career as a neonatologist.

It is thought provoking.

It is funny.

It is gentle.

It is deep.

So many things I could say about it.

It is utterly, utterly lovely.

please please buy yourself a copy I have put a link in the show notes to where you can buy this direct from the publishers or you could obviously nip down to your local bookshop and buy it that way instead if you would prefer and oh such a joy to talk to Beth and to hear a couple of the poems was very difficult for us to choose which two she should share and there are so many lovely ones but I'm hoping we will leave you wanting more loving these poems and wanting to buy your own copy Beth, welcome back to Bedside Reading.
