How do our identities as fathers influence our poems? And how, if at all, does our poem-making influence the way we parent? When our children enter our poems, what are the ethics involved? Five poets who are also fathers share and discuss their poems—and the poems of fellow poetic fathers such as Primus St. John and Robert Frost—that poignantly address these questions and more.
