A young man, the start of a promising career, a loving wife and a new baby daughter – then, an embolism. In The Nell Poems, I’ve watched as the poet forged these poems out of a mother’s shock and grief, carving them into something beautiful for her granddaughter’s legacy. It’s a stunning achievement.
