Forgetting My Father

Jill Abram's Forgetting my Father is a poignant portrait of family life and a daughter's bond with her ailing father. Abram's poetry is warm and gentle, keeping a space for the moment: "I remember Dad when he still remembered me". Abram writes of love, hope and loss in tender and neatly observed poems, which, in the words of Dylan Thomas: 'rage against the dying of the light'.
