From the horrors of toddler classes to the complexities of grief, Flanked is a smorgasbord of maternal experience and emotion.

A scrutiny of motherhood across generations and an exploration of loss as both heart-wrenching and liberating.

Tinged with doubt, regret, guilt, acceptance, joy and love, Flanked captures the intricate dynamics of mother / daughter relationships - where roles morph and history repeats.

A reflection on letting go and looking forward.

Industry Reviews

'Dissecting mother-daughter relationships across generations through astute observation and carefully chosen imagery, Jo Eades charts decades of joys and regrets, showing us that these things are not mutually exclusive - they simply co-exist.'

Stefan Mohamed

'With a lightness of touch, Jo Eades explores the joy, frustration and complexities of being both a mother and a daughter, and how these experiences are inextricably tethered to each other. This characterful exploration of the many kinds of womanhood that can be found in one body is a beautiful debut.'

Malaika Kegode

'Jo's poems are microscopes laser-etched from words. Thoughtful and funny and heartbreaking.'

Jonny Fluffypunk

'As her parent-child relationships invert, Jo Eades flits between humour and honesty, and gifts the reader fresh eyes to look at their own familial bonds. A joy to experience, and a pleasure to share.'

Tom Denbigh

'I'm so proud to have championed the fantastic Jo Eades on BBC Upload. A gem of a poet who captures everything so brilliantly and with such great humility.'
