Paul Sutherland presents 54 poems in this new edition of 'Child Roots'. "He explores the world of children -and by extension, parents, and grandparents - with a rare sensibility, originality, and frankness. There is humour, the celebration of youthful vitality, and beauty here... But also terrible grief, wistful nostalgia, and even horror." 'Child Roots' is a deeply melancholic collection, exploring the 'roots' of children, childhood, and our society.
