- Synopsis
- An intimate and lyrical consideration of what it means to be a fatherThis moment of meeting seemed to be a birth-time for both of us; her first and my second life. Nothing, I knew, would be the same again . . .Full of warmth and candor, this essay composed on the occasion of his daughter&’s birth is one of Laurie Lee&’s most delightful and inspiring works. From the moment Jessy is born, &“purple and dented like a bruised plum,&” to the first time his kiss quiets her cries, Lee describes the joys and responsibilities of new fatherhood with a poet&’s precision and boundless capacity for wonder.
