Ten Poems about Sons

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

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.

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.
