At one remove from parental authority, aunts play a crucial role in the upbringing of children across the world. This anthology puts these women in the spotlight and explores what it means to be - and feels like to have - an aunt, historically and today. Some aunts are biological, some are chosen, but all have an impact on the way we learn to move through the world. Poets in this volume tell stories of glamorous confidants, akin to older siblings, and of older women, tough and worldly-wise, who offer their nieces and nephews a different perspective on life. Above all, the book restores their centrality to young people's development and to family life.

Industry Reviews

Though slim, the anthology ranges around the various territory of aunthood, so there is a lot for anyone who thinks about women's roles in the family.

Laura Cooper, Cuckoo Review

This marvellous collection featuring some striking voices and unique perspectives is a thoroughly recommended read for anyone looking to celebrate their aunts today or any other. Aunts, we salute you.
