The Italian poet and film director shares a series of loving letters to his unborn child in this intimate and reflective poetry collection.
Becoming a parent changes everything. Fear and love live together. An expectant father desperately want to give his child happiness and safety-two qualities of life that are often at odds with each other.
Letters from a Young Father comprises forty letter-poems written by award-winning film director Edoardo Ponti to his unborn child during the forty weeks of his wife's pregnancy. These poems are gifts, lessons, slices of joy, blueprints for building a life, and insights into how we work, learn, love, and remember.
