From Booklist
The first verse in this thematic anthology, "Golden slumbers kiss your eyes," gives us pause. Doesn't Paul McCartney honk it out at the end of Abbey Road? Indeed he does, but he didn't write it. It is instead by, or at least attributed to, Shakespeare's contemporary and, according to Stanley Wells' Shakespeare and Co (2007), collaborator, Thomas Dekker, one of the handful of Elizabethans/Jacobeans who are most of the eldest poets represented. The eldest, however, is Chinese: Su Tung-p'o (1037–1101), whose wry, satiric "On the Birth of His Son" may be the most modern piece in the book. Besides father-to-son poetry, editor Ciuraru includes son-to-father, daughter-to-father, and father-to-daughter poems in moods ranging from tenderness to rage and covering the parent-child relationship from birth to death, the latter of both parent and child. She doesn't shrink from chestnuts, including even the oft-lampooned nineteenth-century pop song "Come Home, Father!" but perhaps most of the selections are by twentieth-century and living poets. Consequently, if this isn't the definitive book of poems on fatherhood (how could it be?), it's an awfully satisfying one, nevertheless. Olson, Ray

Fatherhood (Hardcover)
Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Wilmington, DE, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A celebration of fathers and fatherhood, this anthology features the richly varied voices of sons and daughters, and of fathers and grandfathers themselves. From eleventh-century Chinese poet Su Tung-p'o's witty 'On the Birth of His Son' to Dylan Thomas's poignant 'Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night'; from Sylvia Plath's searing poem 'Daddy' to Yeats's tender 'A prayer for My Daughter'; from Homer to Seamus Heaney, from Shakespeare to Milosz, the poets and poems collected here range across cultures and centuries, and deal with every facet of the father-child relationship from birth to death and beyond. Gratitude, tenderness and awe infuse some of the poems. Others express anger or sorrow. Many are moving tributes to the first man in a child's life. And each one conveys the profound nature of fatherhood. A celebration of fathers and fatherhood, this anthology features the richly varied voices of sons and daughters, and of fathers and grandfathers themselves.
