{"product_id":"ten-poems-about-sisters","title":"Ten Poems about Sisters","description":"A sister often knows us better than anyone. This selection of poems (a companion to Ten Poems about Brothers) explores that special relationship – from the games and secrets of early childhood that we remember so vividly to the separate journeys of later life.\n\nFor Dorothea Smartt, two sisters form a pair of carefree ‘toe-tapping feet’ while Jean Tepperman’s depiction of sisterhood celebrates the thrill of defying convention. In Galway Kinnell’s moving poem a childhood shared with a sibling creates a reassuring lifelong bond:\n\n“…we will walk\nhand in hand a little while,\ntaking the laughter of childhood\nas far as we can into the days to come,”\n\nfrom ‘Two Set Out On Their Journey’ by Galway Kinnell\n\nMost of all, these poems remind us of that life is enlivened and enriched by having a sister. Never coy or timid, they are sure to provoke discussion – and hopefully many lively family conversations!\n\nSelected by Katharine Towers.\n\nPoems by Julia Bird, Wendy Cope, Michael Donaghy, Galway Kinnell, Esther Morgan, PK P","brand":"Candlestick Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58013735518595,"sku":null,"price":7.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0797\/1438\/6230\/files\/c506fbd8e4aaa01047eb12cff74b629d84a4bb4e7d08c96de853275be37a0d76.jpg?v=1778368912","url":"https:\/\/floreannspantry.myshopify.com\/products\/ten-poems-about-sisters","provider":"Flore@Annspantry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
