Publisher's Synopsis
Waxing On is a collection of poems and other writings that provides the poet's random takes on family life, faith, growing old and more. It touches on the small and not so small joys and sorrows of being a son, a husband, a father and a grandfather. It presents unconventional interpretations of biblical stories and Christian doctrine. It skewers racists and demagogues who threaten civil society. It offers up the musings and memories of a man in his twilight years. Taken together, these observations, reflections and anecdotes constitute a kind of autobiography that affords the reader the opportunity to walk in the shoes of a poet.
