Many different kinds of love

(1 customer review)

£14.99

In March 2020, Michael Rosen became unwell. Soon he was struggling to breathe, and he was admitted to hospital with coronavirus. What followed was months on the wards: a month in an induced coma, and weeks of rehab and recovery as the NHS saved his life, and then got him back on his feet. Throughout it all, a notebook lay at the end of Michael’s bed, where his nurses wrote him letters of hope and support. And as soon as he was awake, he was ready to start writing his own story. Combining stunning new prose poems by one of Britain’s best loved poets and the moving coronavirus diaries of his nurses, and featuring original illustrations by Chris Riddell, this is a beautiful book about love, life and the NHS that celebrates the power of community and the indomitable spirits of the people who keep us well.

  1. Ros Kimber

    Beautifully written as you might expect-a very moving account of Rosen’s experience of covid and those who have cared for him. A blend of poetry, excerpts from hospital notes and personal memories from Rosen , his family and friends. I couldn’t put it down and have recommended it to many friends including those who would not normally go anywhere near poetry!
