Baby Verses: The Narrative Poetry of Infants and Toddlers

Baby Verses: The Narrative Poetry of Infants and Toddlers

Michael Trout, has created a compilation of 18 poems as if written by prenates, babies and young children, describing their experiences with life: from living with an alcoholic mother, to circumcision; from losing a twin in utero to the joys of individuation. Eight of the poems are recorded on an included CD, using voices of very young children.

Magnificent illustrations (by North Carolina artist Jean Rettun) grace each page, making Baby Verses an exquisite way to raise the consciousness of parents and clinicians alike to the perspective of the young child.
