In this collection of memories about fathers, 118 of our finest American poets -- both daughters and sons, some famous, others less well known -- pay eloquent homage to their fathers and the broader concept of fatherhood. Whether writing of fathers who were heroes or antiheroes, defenders or pacifists, those who went away suddenly or those who reappeared after a long period of time, the poets here cast the net wide to harvest the infinite variety of the father-&-child relationship. This moving anthology presents poems full of humor, heartbreak, tragedy, and forgiveness. Poets include Ray Carver, Gwendolyn Brooks, Rita Dove, Louise Gluck, Don Justice, Maxine Kumin, and Robert Bly.
