Author Description

This earthy collection of sometimes robust, sometimes ender poetry highlights the events and emotions of a daily existence. From the unique problem of getting a little girl to sleep, to the humiliation of playing checkers without one's "specs" -- it's all here, the fun and foibles of life lived to the fullest. Many poems in the first part of the book tell tales, seemingly simple and direct, but rich in tested religious conviction and moral philosophy. Other poems, written in a bucolic dialect, relive Uncle Sile's antics tempered by reflective moments and enduring contemplative life style. Nevertheless, all is not serious with this poet, and the beautiful humor exhibited in these poems if one of their greatest assets. All in all, this delightful collection meets all the qualifications needed to provide sparkling hours of enjoyable reading.
