A Soul's Road Home - poetic reflections on fatherhood

Epaminondas Zisimopoulos

What does it mean to become a father? A Soul's Road Home is a lyrical meditation on the first year of parenthood, where love, fear, and hope intertwine. Through vivid imagery and heartfelt verse, this collection captures the moments that define fatherhood-watching over a sleeping child, the quiet fears of an uncertain future, the unparalleled joy of a tiny hand grasping your own. Each poem is a reflection on the transformation that begins the moment a child is born.
