Fathers consider their children and children consider their fathers in this powerful, nuanced book about masculinity, legacy and distance. Poems depict the joy of new parenthood, casting a poignant light on poems depicting estrangement between poets and fathers. Silence dominates, as poets explore words unspoken and feelings suppressed, but reconciliations also emerge from unlikely places: through wearing a father's gloves; through ghostly meetings in pubs and train stations; and at the bottom of the garden by the shed. This is a deeply moving, honest and truthful book about fatherhood.
