The Emma Press Anthology of Fatherhood

About this book

Fathers consider their children and children consider their fathers in this powerful, nuanced book about masculinity, legacy and distance. Poems depict the joy of new parenthood, casting a poignant light on poems depicting estrangement between poets and fathers. Silence dominates, as poets explore words unspoken and feelings suppressed, but reconciliations also emerge from unlikely places: through wearing a father's gloves; through ghostly meetings in pubs and train stations; and at the bottom of the garden by the shed. This is a deeply moving, honest and truthful book about fatherhood.

ISBN: 978 0 9574596 2 5

We see lovers imagined as heroes and hares; describing what they want in jawdropping detail (or maybe with no words at all); meeting at swimming pools, sinking into baths and magic boxes. They wonder about lost knickers, worry about caravans, and – sometimes – find themselves transformed.
