Mothers

Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1465362665
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 53
Book Description
Parenting needs special skills and attention if the young ones are to survive. This author outlines the expectations of humans, animals, and their offspring in their natural inhabitants. Just as the parents have expectations of their children; the children also have expectations of their own from their parents. Parenting is a natural phenomenon for humans and nonhumans alike, a difficult task. Parenting is a full-time job, a focus and narrative description in this book. Thus, this book talks about the role of parenting in the lives of the next generation in order for them to survive. Saying there is need for parenting in the animal world just as it is in the human world is an understatement. Animals, like humans, need parenting for their next generations to survive. The eagle, for instance, indicated that parenting is cooperation between papa and mama eagle for the babies to survive. Raising a child is a hard job for everyone. A mother's work is never done as the next generations always need their mothers' protection. I hope everyone reading this book gains some insight into the world of parenthood in the animal world that is very applicable to humans.

Book Description
"Nezhukumatathil’s poems contain elegant twists of a very sharp knife. She writes about the natural world and how we live in it, filling each poem, each page with a true sense of wonder." —Roxane Gay “Cultural strands are woven into the DNA of her strange, lush... poems. Aphorisms...from another dimension.” —The New York Times “With unparalleled ease, she’s able to weave each intriguing detail into a nuanced, thought-provoking poem that also reads like a startling modern-day fable.” —The Poetry Foundation “How wonderful to watch a writer who was already among the best young poets get even better!” —Terrance Hayes With inquisitive flair, Aimee Nezhukumatathil creates a thorough registry of the earth’s wonderful and terrible magic. In her fourth collection of poetry, she studies forms of love as diverse and abundant as the ocean itself. She brings to life a father penguin, a C-section scar, and the Niagara Falls with a powerful force of reverence for life and living things. With an encyclopedic range of subjects and unmatched sincerity, Oceanic speaks to each reader as a cooperative part of the earth, an extraordinary neighborhood to which we all belong. From “Starfish and Coffee”: And that’s how you feel after tumbling like sea stars on the ocean floor over each other. A night where it doesn’t matter which are arms or which are legs or what radiates and how— only your centers stuck together. Aimee Nezhukumatathil is the author of four collections of poetry. Recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship and the prestigious Eric Hoffer Grand Prize, Nezhukumatathil teaches creative writing and environmental literature in the MFA program at the University of Mississippi.

C'mon Papa

Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
Ryan Knighton's humorous and perceptive tales of fatherhood take us inside an unusual new family, one bound by its father's particular darkness and light. C'mon Papa is Ryan Knighton's heartbreaking and hilarious voyage through the first year of fatherhood. Becoming a father is a stressful, daunting rite of passage to be sure, but for a blind father, the fears are unimaginably heightened. Ryan will have to find novel ways to adapt to nearly every aspect of parenting: the most basic skills are nearly impossible to contemplate, let alone master. And how will Ryan get to know this pre-verbal bundle of coos and burps when he can't see her smile, or look into her eyes for hints of the person to come? But this is no pity party, and Ryan has no time for sentimentality. Tackling these hurdles with grace and humour, Ryan is determined to do his part - and this is where the fun starts. From holding his daughter as she wails into the night to their first nerve-wracking walk to the cafe, no activity between father and daughter is without its pitfalls. In his struggle to "see" Tess, Ryan reimagines the relationship between father and child during that first chaotic year.
