I am your Father by Adi Wolfson

$18.99

 

Recently, I have accompanied my daughter on her long and complex journey to find herself. She eventually figured out that she wants to be a boy, and we began the new, challenging path of transgenderism. During this time, I wrote poems as a way of thinking, processing, and speaking with myself.  I Am Your Father includes the English language poems as translated by the American poet Michael R. Burch.

 

These are compelling poems that speak to our times. I learned a lot that I would never have guessed as I helped translate the poems into English.
