Fontanelle

Fontanelle is about 'soft spots', birth, women and those whose voices are often unheard. All these influence her reasons to become a nurse and midwife. 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.

Unexpected tender pockets of tragedy and humour in poetry and This debut collection is her 'take' on the complexities and joys of care, duty, burnout and friendships.
