There may be no book on the mothers of poets, or artists in general, but it might one day be written and would be, I think, an enlightening read.
The author Alexander McCall Smith suggests that while a book specifically about the mothers of poets and artists may not currently exist, such a work could provide valuable insights into their influences. He highlights the significance of maternal figures in shaping the lives and creativity of notable artists, particularly poets.
McCall Smith emphasizes the potential richness of exploring these relationships, considering how the experiences and sacrifices of mothers could illuminate the creative processes of their children. This perspective could deepen our understanding of artistic development and the personal histories behind famous works.
