Key learning points: - Armitage describes a mother helping her son move into his own home as he reaches adulthood. - The speaker’s new home seems huge and expansive, emphasising the growing distance between mother and child. - The speaker builds on the emotional distance between the mother and son as their physical distance increases. - Both speaker and subject seem apprehensive about the son's upcoming independence. - The poem comes from ‘Books of Matches’, reflecting on ephemeral moments that make a deep impression.\n
