I used to read a lot. Not anymore. I also used to read and write a lot of poetry which is something that has been lost to me for some time. I was really grateful to have the opportunity to read some fun contemporary poetry, but I wasn’t expecting the other emotions that came with it and this book was a great introduction back into the world of beautiful and fun poems. Although I am not too sure that I am happy being outed as the Easter Egg eater! We’ve been busted Mums!
The first poem grabbed my attention immediately. My mum was a ‘young’ mum and was never keen on the idea of being a Nanny too soon. She is still the same as the first poem and indeed enjoys a bit of vino but happily she took immediately to being a grandparent. The poems lead you through a journey of childhood through the eyes of a grandmother and I couldn’t help but draw many similarities to my own mother. Things she sometimes says and does. The emotions came from reading about feelings that I never considered that my own mother might have. Well, I may have considered but never really gave it an afterthought. I specifically connected with ‘Mother to Mother’ as the poem is based on the date of my birth.
When I gave birth to Baby B, I developed a new found respect for my Mum and for the concept of motherhood in general. I was so excited to start on my own new journey and to embrace what it brought. Rather selfishly perhaps, although we recognised this was a special time for grandparents, I gave no real focus to their journey. Di Castle documents it brilliantly in these heart felt, warm and hilarious poems.
I find it difficult to imagine that our maternal journeys will never really end, our roles will just change over time. It is not something I need to think about right now, except that my mother’s role has changed and perhaps Di Castle’s tongue in cheek representation has more truth in it than I will know at this point in time.
I would highly recommend *Grandma's Poetry Book by Di Castle

الخرسانة هي مادةٌ تتكون من الإسمنت والماء والرمل والحصمة، وهي الطبقة الأساسية التي يتمّ وضعها واستخدامها في البناء وخصوصاً الأسطح الخارجية، ولا شكّ بأن المنازل أو المنشآت تتعرّض للحرارة ولمياه الأمطار وهي من أكثر العوامل الجوية التي تتأثر بها الأسطح الخرسانية، ولهذا يلجا الكثير من الأشخاص لاستخدام بعض الطرق لعزل هذه الأسطح لتفادي تسرب المياه إلى أجزاء الخرسانة الداخلية ممّا يسبب ذلك الرطوبة، ثمّ ظهور العفن على السقف من الداخل، وكذلك لتفادي البرودة الشديدة، والحرارة الشديدة خلال موسمي الشتاء والصيف.
