Childhood Emily Rolfe Grosholz

These eloquent, edgy poems write of youth and parenting in powerful ways. They also go well beyond that, in addressing childhood as revelation: not just the temporal state we all go through, but the crisis of wonder our own children produce in us. Any reader who picks up this book can draw closer to that wonder and share in it again through this lyrical, moving work. -Eavan Boland, Professor of English, Stanford University and Member, Irish Academy of Letters
