The poems are so beautifully observed and shared. The words awaken the magic of life by celebrating the ordinary. They remind you of what once was, while beautifully planting you in the now. I just want to go back to the start and read them all again. A beautiful companion to keep by my side.

Jess’ words weave their way straight to the core of the motherhood experience. Beautifully heartfelt, inspiringly poignant and therapeutically validating

Anna Mathur, author of Raising a Happier Mother

Feeling seen and understood in motherhood is rare in our judgemental, advice laden world. Jess's beautiful words weave their way past your exhaustion, doubt and guilt - straight to soothe your soul. Reading this book feels like a much needed long exhale.

Jess guides you right into the heart of motherhood with her poignant and piercing style and is unafraid to take you into the tender places of life as a mother. Beautiful Chaos will remind you of the joyous moments, the moments that bring tears to your eyes, and the moments you find yourself on your knees. Above all this new collection of Jess’s beautiful poetry reassures you that you are not alone. Jess' words are healing, powerful, honest and raw. She takes me right back to those tender newborn days, the mayhem of toddlerhood, and through life with a growing child, and in doing so reminds me of just how far I have come.

On Motherhood, Finding Yourself and Overwhelming Love

New collection of most popular and previously unpublished poems from Jessica Urlichs 
 
Motherhood is messy and beautiful, and hard and humbling. We adore our children and sometimes we miss ourselves. Beautiful Chaos is a collection of raw, honest poems about motherhood - capturing everything from pregnancy to school age. 
 
Upon becoming a mother, Jessica Urlichs was reminded that the everyday ordinary is extraordinary. As sacred and tender as early motherhood is, it also comes with its struggles. Beautiful Chaos is a collection that chronicles it all - the highs, the lows, the confusion, the loss of identity, the becoming, and the brutal but beautiful ways our children hold mirrors up to us. This collection inspires vulnerability and will be a cathartic, healing read for anyone who needs it. 
 
These poems will remind you of a time gone by or ground you in the current moment. Either way, they will make you feel seen and comforted amidst the beautiful chaos that is motherhood.
