First Friday of the month means a new book recommendation!

This month I am choosing a compilation by William Sieghart called The Poetry Pharmacy: Tried and True Prescriptions for the Heart, Mind, and Soul. The author has selected poems to "treat" all manner of emotional conditions. Feeling yourself reflected in someone else's words is such a gift; no matter what you are experiencing, it's a relief to know you are not alone.

You can find The Poetry Pharmacy and all the other books we've ever recommended in our Bookshop. (We get a small commission from any books purchased through the site.)

Let us know which poem was your favorite. Check out our Instagram page to see one of my favorites read by actor Andrew Scott (Fleabag's own Hot Priest!). Send in your reactions, questions, recommendations, and delights to [email protected]. Please remember to follow the show, and leave us a rating and a review. We appreciate your support!
