Description
Like William Blake's Songs of
Innocence and Experience, these
poems evoke childhood moments-
from the dream-like states of infancy
to the early exhilarations of nature,
animals, games, school, sex, and
the earliest discoveries of love. Such
elusive memories are screened through
the double lens of the boy's innocence
and the grown man's more complex
awareness.
In exploring the world of the poet's
personal history, First Kingdoms
also records and celebrates a type
of childhood less and less known to
today's digitally-obsessed generations.
