Parent Days Anne Parlby

Parent Days is a charming collection of poems about the experience of having a child. From the excitement of expecting, scans, picking names and the eventual birth, it's almost like a documentary of the experience in short, sweet, digestible chunks. This was written in response to the wonder of having children, and the almost frighteningly ceaseless love that develops within parents. It succeeds as a testament to devotion with an air of reverence for the experience and absolute devotion to the child. Anne lives in rural Leicestershire with her husband of nearly 30 years and their three wonderful children. She is a teacher, currently working with dyslexic learners of all ages. Anne enjoys music from a wide variety of genre, tennis and swimming.
