Amon James

Amon James writes about the rhythm of family life — the ordinary work of a household and the children growing up inside it. There are five of them here, all under ten, and most of what gets written down is about the small changes that made the second kid easier than the first, and the fourth easier than the second. Where the plates live. Who puts what away. What you stop doing because it turns out it was never the point.
