What does it mean to grow up? To be someone's child, sibling, or parent - to carry a family with you wherever life takes you?
Growing Up and Family Life brings together poets from Australia, Canada, Congo, Cyprus, Greece, India, Mauritius, Nigeria, the Philippines, Singapore, Spain, Qatar, the United Kingdom, and the United States into one moving anthology about the bonds that shape us. Inside you'll find grandmothers' kitchens and childhood bedrooms, the ache of losing a parent and the comfort of a sibling's voice, first heartbreaks and hard-won forgiveness, nostalgia for summers that end too soon, and the quiet resilience of families holding on through hard times.
Edited by Dr. C. Gladson Clifford Joe, this collection captures growing up in all its complexity - tender, funny, painful, and true. Whether you're a poetry lover, a memoirist at heart, or simply someone who has ever called a place or a person home, these poems will meet you exactly where you are.
A powerful read for fans of contemporary poetry anthologies, coming-of-age reflections, and stories of family, memory, and belonging.
