Aoife Lyall's debut collection Mother, Nature explores the tragic and tender experiences of pregnancy and early motherhood, from ante-natal complications and the devastating pain of miscarriage to the overwhelming joy of healthy delivery and normal infancy. Born and raised in Dublin, Aoife Lyall now lives in the Scottish Highlands.
Aoife Lyall’s second collection follows her widely praised debut Mother, Nature. Her book beautifully captures ordinary moments in life that crystallise in the face of crisis and threat, focusing on the earliest weeks and months of the pandemic, exploring first steps, last breaths, milestones, millstones and the world behind the front door.
