The speaker, looking backwards to his late father and forwards to his new son, prepares to become a parent for the first time.

Antrobus makes us hear between the lines through poems well-crafted with emotional intelligence'' – Linton Kwesi Johnson, Mark Oakley and Clare Shaw, judges of the 2018 Ted Hughes Prize.
