In this special Advent Calendar mini-episode, we were joined by William Sieghart, author of the bestselling series, The Poetry Pharmacy. Sieghart spoke to us about adapting 100 poems from this collection into a new illustrated book for children entitled, Everyone Sang: A Poem for Every Feeling. The book is part of his decades-long effort to make poetry more accessible to a wider range of individuals. He explained to us how this latest work might help children to better make sense of their complex emotions surrounding the COVID-19 global pandemic. It can be purchased in an exclusive signed edition on our website. We hope you enjoy another wine-infused conversation from our bustling Christmas Evening at Hatchards. Happy Christmas!

Hosted by Ryan Edgington and Matt Hennessey.
