We begin with a birth and progress through the years via familiar landmarks; the beloved toys of early childhood and tricky teenage arguments lead to the inevitable moment when a daughter must leave home. A poem about teaching a daughter to swim becomes a moving expression of a rite of passage into independence: “You will watch her leaving the shore behind and the current will flow the right way. That day, the water will hold her…” - from 'Teaching Your Daughter to Swim' by Clare Shaw Running through every poem there is an abiding sense of the power of the bond between a parent and daughter – and of course there is always love. Poems by Michael Brown, SL Grange, Harry Guest, Joanna Ingham, James P Lenfestey, Kim Moore, Marilyn Nelson, Clare Shaw, Anne Stevenson and Claire Walker. Cover illustration by Caroline Barker. Includes one poetry pamphlet, eco-envelope and co-ordinating bookmark with space for your own personal message.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Candlestick Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43676483518498,"sku":"9781913627089","price":15.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0052\/0785\/1042\/files\/Copy-of-Book-Template---2025-03-20T111921-055.jpg?v=1742422783","url":"https:\/\/petronella.pro\/products\/ten-poems-about-daughters","provider":"Petronella's Gallery and Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
