Spoken Emotion : A Collection of Poetry about Adoption

In this collection, mother and son Elizabeth and Oliver, explore the emotions and feelings inherent in family life. From this unique perspective of adult and child, this collection views the things said and unsaid that go on in a family with an adopted child. Elizabeth, through her words, encompasses the feelings many other families may feel; whether through adoption, fostering or just living life. Their poetry is about the light and shade of family life; the emotional journeys we take, which will resonate with many families.
