| Description: | Select Guide Rating A stunning anthology of poems edited by Carol Ann Duffy on that special bond between parent and child through life, featuring some of our most beloved poets. <p><b>‘Carol Ann Duffy is the most humane and accessible poet of our time’ - <i>Guardian</i></b><br><br>In this stunning anthology of ninety nine modern and classic poems, Carol Ann Duffy delves into the powerful and unique bond between parent and child. <i>Empty Nest</i> contemplates growing old, the love of a parent, the everyday of family life, as well as poems that explore darker terrains – grief, loss and estrangement. Some of our favourite poets are collected here, such as Elizabeth Bishop, Jackie Kay, Simon Armitage, Shakespeare, Imtiaz Dharker, Seamus Heaney and Don Paterson.<br><br>These poems are by turns wry, moving, profound, funny, melancholic and wise; they will console and comfort those suddenly facing a house that may be much cleaner, but is also much quieter, than it once was. There is something here for every reader to treasure.<br><br><b>‘Wonderful . . . a poet alert to every sound and shape of language’ - <i>Telegraph</i></b></p> |
