Produktbeschreibung
Chris Campbell's full-length poetry collection explores fatherhood and a male perspective of family life. The 48 poems cover universal themes including life's stages and struggles, with remorse and self-questioning, all while appreciating its joys. It is a book that touches on the past, its effect on the present, and the contrast between the idealised and reality of life as a dad with two young children alongside marriage, work, illness, and urban life. Written in Bristol, UK, the collection highlights the city's nature, current and historic family relationships, and the effect of an ear infection that led to a brain haemorrhage. It tackles the journey of recovery, identifying dark and light moments and an appreciation for the everyday.
