Kid (book)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kid is a 1992 collection of poems by Simon Armitage. The title poem, 'Kid' is written from the point of view of comic book and TV series character Robin, companion of Batman. The poem talks about how Robin has grown up after separating from Batman. It seems to be a poem about growing up, and the complexity of relationships between siblings and parents. The light hearted rhythmic nature of the poem and its central comic stars seems at odds with the slightly darker underlying tone.
