My Coleridge, Paperback

Until he died, Sara Coleridge barely knew her father, but as editor of his estate she found him and presented her Coleridge to the world. My Coleridge responds to Sara Coleridge's diaries, essays and poems, exploring her experience of motherhood and addiction. But this book tells the author's story too, because like Anne Carson writes, 'Sometimes you can see a celestial object better by looking at something else, with it, in the sky.'
