Publisher's Synopsis
This collection of poetry should be read by everybody who is a father and by everybody who has or ever had a father. Written by a poet and teacher of creative writing on the West Coast of the United States, it is a long-delayed search for the discovery of his father - a search that reveals to all of us a part of the universal quest to find the significance of our immediate roots. What My Father Didn't Know I Learned from Him has been labeled a new and easily accessible art form, as fresh a departure from the conventional poetry of our current culture as Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass was in its time.
