101 Poems About Childhood
Paperback Edition: 1/2007
Childhood, according to Rilke, was one of poetry's two inexhaustible sources. The poems in this anthology are an index of the idea of childhood, from nostalgia to expressions of love for children, from the celebration of births to the mourning of childhood death - childhood's
psychology and persona, its pleasures and terrors, and the loss of innocence.
