Some Girls' Mothers

Suzanne Batty, Anne Caldwell, Nell Farrell, Char March, Clare Shaw and River Wolton (a.k.a. Poets With a Kick) are co-authors of Some Girls' Mothers (ed. Anne Caldwell, Route 2008) - creative non-fiction stories about mothers and daughters.

‘Touching, wounding, humbling’
- Simon Armitage

Some Girls' Mothers initial performances have attracted enthusiastic responses:

‘Moving, funny, thought-provoking, and that was just the audience!’
‘Great book, but the performance added a whole new dimension. A brilliant evening.’
- audience feedback, Chesterfield, March 2009

In 2009/10 Some Girls' Mothers continues to tour regionally and nationally, offering creative writing workshops based on the themes of the book, and a performance directed by Polly Thomas (BBC Radio 4). See Events for dates.

‘Brilliant! More! The writers were lovely, understanding, friendly and very professional. My first visit to something like this and I'll definitely be back.’
- Some Girls' Mothers workshop participant
