Dads, fathers, papas, daddies: the poems in this updated edition of our best-selling mini-anthology explore fatherhood from a host of angles. We encounter a father who likes running up hills, a father who plays the accordion and poignantly a father who needs to be taught how to hug. The poems celebrate the fact that fathers can be both protectors and purveyors of imaginative childhood adventures.
\”My father was a bear. He carried me through forest, sky and over frozen sea. At night I lay along his back wrapped in fur and heat and while I slept, he ran \” – from ‘You May Have Heard of Me’ by Shazea Quraishi
There are also poems of tender remembrance. Everyday happenings become special with hindsight, acting as a reminder that a father’s love is something we can carry with us forever.
Includes one poetry pamphlet, eco-envelope and co-ordinating bookmark with space for your own personal message.
