Publisher Marketing: This memoir in poems uses letters written by the poet’s father to his father in 1959 to explore the social context of the American mid-century and to expose the dynamics of family life in that era. Using phrases from the letters, which are reprinted in full in the second section of the book, Sharon Cumberland ranges through the past, present, and future by writing in her father’s voice. The book is illustrated with family photos and other images relating to the text.
