Fatherhood

The power of C.S. Fuqua's poetry lies in the relentless chronicling of real people with real sorrow, triumph, regret, and above all, the sad beauty of the human experience. Superb poetry from an American poet and musician. Tony Nesca, Author of About A Girl "C.S Fuqua's transcendent verses encapsulate the many moods and dispositions of 'dadhood.' His reflections are compelling, affecting, witty and tender. A recommended read for the expectant father." Ali Kinteh, author of The Nepenthe Park Chronicles "Though I've read Christopher Fuqua's horror stories and listened to his haunting melodies on the Native American flute, he displays another side to his soul in his collected poems on fatherhood. Through touching snippets he exposes the heartbreak of the miscarriages he and his wife endure in their efforts to birth a child. Then, when a pregnancy finally takes, his poetry blossoms with the growing bond between father and daughter, the eternal struggle to support, yet let her fail. Swing me, Dad! Swing me high! moving into her first day of school, her first solo ride on an escalator. These poems will resonate with every parent, maybe even bring a tear to their eye." Suanne Schafer, author of Hunting the Devil
