Fontanelle

Helen Sheppard

From Shelf: Poetry

Fontanelle is Helen Sheppard's debut collection about 'soft spots', birth, women and those whose voices are often unheard. Helen has long family connections to care: aunt a midwife from 1941, her mum worked at a Transplant hospital, and her Dad passed down a quirky nature. All these influence her reasons to become a nurse and midwife.

Fontanelle is about 'soft spots', birth, women and those whose voices are often unheard. Helen has long family connections to care: aunt a midwife from 1941, her mum worked at a Transplant hospital, and her Dad passed down a quirky nature. All these influence her reasons to become a nurse and midwife. This debut collection is her 'take' on the complexities and joys of care, duty, burnout and friendships. Unexpected tender pockets of tragedy and humour in poetry and letters
