<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><b>A father-to-be, through the course of his wife's pregnancy, writes a poem a week to his unborn child; each poem is a letter of life, a letter of love, as he prepares himself for the greatest journey of all: fatherhood.</b><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Becoming a parent changes everything. Fear and love live together. Suddenly there is a person in the world for whom you want happiness and safety, even when those two don't always coincide. <b><i>Diary of a Young Father</i></b> comprises forty letter-poems written by award-winning film director Edoardo Ponti to his unborn child during the forty weeks of his wife's pregnancy. These poems are gifts, lessons, slices of joy, maps for how we build a life, for how we work and learn, how we love, and how we remember.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>What a remarkable book this is. In Letters from a Young Father, poet and filmmaker Edoardo Ponti has given us a haunting, deeply moving and celebratory collection of poems that is truly unlike anything I know--a book of poems addressed to his unborn child that echoes both Yeats' famous poem "A Prayer for My Daughter" as well as Rainer Maria Rilke's exquisite and timeless volume, Letters to a Young Poet. . . . Letters from a Young Father is one of the most heartbreakingly beautiful books of recent years. If I were to choose just one book to give to a new father or to a new mother at the beginning of his or her journey to becoming a parent, it would be, without question, Edoardo Ponti's Letters from a Young Father.--David St. John "from book introduction"<br>
