Fathers: A Literary Anthology – Andre Gerard

Notes from Andre Gerard author of Fathers: A Literary Anthology – The idea for this anthology came to me some five years ago, and although I tried to resist, the idea would not go away. I am, after all, the father of two teenage children, and some of my thoughts were forged in the fiery smithy of experience. Part of the impetus, too, came from seeing how “astronaut kids,” children with fathers half a world away, responded to reading personal essays and poems about fathers. A gift for all my children, biological and emotional, this anthology was compiled as an act of affirmation. Despite being an agnostic—one who lacks the certainty to be an atheist—I believe passionately in the power of friendship, loving-kindness and literature to give meaning to our lives. Fathers: A Literary Anthology, consists of personal essays and poems which famous writers have written about their fathers.
