JAN BRIERTON is a freelance fashion stylist from Dublin. When COVID restrictions led Jan to assume the full-time role of teacher, playground chaperone, cook, cleaner and general entertainer she was inspired to write and share a poem about her experience. At the height of the restrictions, Jan’s own internal dialogue tumbled onto the page. The result is this book of poems: raw, honest and funny observations on family and relationships, on feeling a bit crap and being perfectly imperfect. Her first book, What Day Is It? Who gives a f*ck expresses all the rage, loss, fun and love that have stunned and occupied us since March 2020.
Jan lives in Killester, Dublin with her husband Austin and children Willow and Theo.
