Creative M/Others Workshop Thursday 28 November
1-3pm Exeter Library
With Guest Poet and Mother Lily Redwood
M/Others on the Mic and Lily Redwood present:
Mother. Me. A space for our true mother nature to emerge...
Becoming a m/other brings a fracturing of identity. Our physical, social, emotional reality changes. This shift is called matrescence it can leave you wondering... Well, who on earth am I now? And, who’s going to mother me?
Join Lily for a nourishing, reflective time to connect with yourself and other m/others. Together we will explore the gifts and challenges of m/otherhood, and uncover tools to nurture yourself amidst the daily rollercoaster of parenting.

Lily Redwood lives off-grid in South Wales with her husband and 2 children. She writes about the everyday extraordinary from the political to the poetical. Lily combines spoken word with tender verse, which comes alive through her live performance. She has recently been Cheltenham Poetry Festival Slam Finalist and the Bristol Milk Poetry Slam winner. Most of her poems are written on the notes app hiding in the toilet from her 2 children, or scribbled on the back of a shopping list, whilst burning the dinner. Lily's debut pamphlet, You Make Me Think of Swifts, an unflinching and raw voice for motherhood, is out now with The Collective Press. Her work has been described described as: "visceral, loving and brave".
Lily will be performing at Daylight Poetry on Friday 29 November at Exeter Phoenix alongside Liv Torc.
