Ten Poems about Daughters

Great small gift alternative to a card. Includes an envelope and bookmark.

A daughter will always be a daughter, and this beautiful and tender selection celebrates that joyful fact.

We begin with a birth and progress through the years via familiar landmarks; the beloved toys of early childhood and tricky teenage arguments lead to the inevitable moment when a daughter must leave home.

A poem about teaching a daughter to swim becomes a moving expression of a rite of passage into independence.

Running through every poem there is an abiding sense of the power of the bond between a parent and daughter – and of course there is always love.

Poems by Michael Brown, SL Grange, Harry Guest, Joanna Ingham, James P Lenfestey, Kim Moore, Marilyn Nelson, Clare Shaw, Anne Stevenson and Claire Walker.
