ABOUT THE POEM:-

• "A Photograph" written by Shirley Toulson is about a tribute to the poet's mother. The poem gives a description of three phases over time.

• In the first phase, the photograph shows the poet’s mother who was standing at the beach and was celebrating her holiday with her two female cousins. She was around twelve years old at that time.

• The second phase is about twenty or thirty years later. The poet imagines her mother laughing at the manner she and her cousins were attired for the beach holiday.

• In the third phase, the poet recalls her late mother with a heavy soul. The photograph restores an emotional feeling in the poet.
