About this listen
The Instant Sunday Times Bestseller
'The words awaken the magic of life by celebrating the ordinary'—Giovanna Fletcher
'Beautifully heartfelt, inspiringly poignant and therapeutically validating'—Anna Mathur
Motherhood is messy and beautiful, and hard and humbling. We adore our children, and sometimes we miss ourselves. Beautiful Chaos is a collection of raw, honest poems about motherhood—capturing everything from pregnancy to school age.
Upon becoming a mother, poet Jessica Urlichs was reminded that the everyday ordinary is extraordinary. Beautiful Chaos is a collection that chronicles it all—the highs, the lows, the confusion, the loss of identity, the becoming, and the brutal but beautiful ways our children hold up a mirrors to ourselves. This collection inspires vulnerability and will be a cathartic, healing listen for anyone who needs it.
These poems will remind you of a time gone by or ground you in the current moment. Either way, they will make you feel seen and comforted amid the beautiful chaos that is motherhood.
