The idea of family relations is, therefore, an idea or theme that cuts across all the three pieces of literature though in slightly various ways as demonstrated by an analytical consideration of each of the three works. Each piece of work, from the two poems, ‘’Daystar’’ by Rita Dove, ‘’Those Winter Sundays’’ by Robert Hayden and the short story ‘’At…
