Bøger af Darren Demaree

In these honest and imaginative poems, Demaree gives us a glimpse into a father's whole and blessed acceptance of his children for who they are and for who they will be. In these poems, the father is present and reachable and therefore fallible. Here is a world where a child is an ocean or a ship, squints at the problems of the world or runs naked through the streets. Here the magic of childhood meets the real and often surreal concerns of love and parenting. Here is a world where the darkness isn't shied away from, but the fierce light shines bright enough to tame it.- Donna Vorreyer, author of to everything there is
