Ten Poems about Daughters
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.
