The seventy-eight poems in My Father’s Oaks were written between 1975 and 2020. They are based on both the author’s personal experience and the experience of others and are a commentary upon some of the commonplaces and rarities, joys and sorrows, and harmonies and incongruities of life from Genesis to the present.
