SYNOPSIS:
Fathers
is an inspiring and highly emotive collection of poems spanning 40 years.
Fatherhood is the inspiration for much of this book – its mysteries, triumphs,
magic, humor, pain, and loss. In it the
poet – an acute observer and lyrical writer – explores fatherhood from the
perspective of a grandson, son, father, husband, and grandfather. His poems
illustrate that being a dad is perhaps the most rewarding aspect of living, and
at times, one of the most frustrating. The pages of this remarkable volume will
engage all that is human in the reader.
