Early Morning Remembering My Father, William Stafford

"This book explores what enabled Stafford's poems: his difficult time in conscientious objector camps during World War II, his reverence for the plains of his native Kansas, his daily practice of rising long before dawn to run and write, the principled and fair-minded way he raised his four children....The chief virtue of Stafford's best poems--their natural, plainspoken profundity--is unfortunately in short supply here. Still, there are compelling glimpses...of the life that gave rise to these poems."Stafford, Kim is the author of 'Early Morning Remembering My Father, William Stafford' with ISBN 9781555973728 and ISBN 1555973728.
