thirties

The first ten years of parenting are peals of laughter in puddles of bathwater and sobs of exasperation in piles of fast food wrappers. Through whimsy, wit, and warmth Comstock draws meaning and marvel from the mundanity of life with little ones, exploring themes of memory, identity, and mortality. Thirty poems in a variety of classic and modern forms, growing one line at a time, create a captivating and heartwarming journey through the trials and triumphs of childrearing and childhood.
