| Publisher Description: Father Hunting is a journey in poetic narrative, of searching for a father, who left a four year old standing on the platform of a train station, never to return, until one day several decades later they met in a cold, northern city. In that moment all his questions over the years were answered: old rags and brittle bone/had been where he had been/and covered his tracks well/his father let his bones die/ let his legs ground to sand/and he had been denied/the final moments of the hunt. Father Hunting is a positive example of dealing with a history of abandonment when the child becomes a father, overcoming child custody, and coming full circle in a loving father/son relationship. |
