Commissioned by the Brontë Parsonage Museum to create a new body of poetry exploring themes of childhood, motherhood, and family, poet Maria Ferguson takes inspiration from the lives and works of the Brontës.
Her poetry pays particular attention to the Brontës' mother, Maria Branwell, and the short but lasting relationship she had with her children.
Find Maria's poetry installation in the Bonnell Room when you visit the Museum, as part of our exhibition theme, The Brontës' Web of Childhood. Maria's poems are presented through visuals as well as audio recordings, so you can listen to and read them in the way that works best for you.
