Ten Poems About Sons - Card Set is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
In this delightful mini anthology we find touching and uplifting poems exploring sons as babies and sons as young men, as well as everything in between.
We meet a boy daydreaming in bed on a summer’s evening, his mother delighting in his wakefulness as his imagination roams in the dark. There’s a son begging his dad for a bedtime story, which must be different from the last one. And then there are unforgettable rites of passage such as a gap year, which turns out to be as much of an adventure for the parent as for the child:
“My heart soars like the birds in your bright blue skies. My love glows like the sunrise over the lost city.
I sing along to Ella Fitzgerald, A tisket A tasket.
I have a son out in the big wide world.”
from ‘Gap Year’ by Jackie Kay
The poems are a reminder of the delights, joys and endless surprises of watching a son grow through childhood into whatever happens next.
Poems by Emily Blewitt, Josephine Corcoran, Glyn Edwards, Langston Hughes, Jackie Kay, Galway Kinnell, Li-Young Lee,
David Morley, Sinéad Morrissey and Naomi Shihab Nye.
