FATHERS AND TEACHERS: POEMS 1984-2006 by ROBERT DEMAREE
From a daughter's graduation to a young man's funeral, from
Louisiana, forlorn after Hurricane Katrina, to the pristine woods and
lakes of New Hampshire, where he lives five months of the year,
Robert Demaree takes us to the places and events of shared
experience, in verse that is ironic, bittersweet, and always
accessible. You will say, with Jillian Meyer-Bledsoe, author of
"Leaving Newfound" and co-editor of Ghoti Magazine, "I know that
place!" "Robert Demaree's poems are resonant, witty, and easy to
love. His range of subjects brings life to every page. This is a
collection of simplicity and most impressive lucidity." -- Janine
Margiotta Robert Demaree was born in Pennsylvania and spent forty-two
years as a teacher and administrator in schools in Georgia, Virginia,
Louisiana and North Carolina. He is the author of "Lo, Hearts Behold:
A History of Greensboro Day School," two collections of poems,
articles in educational journals, and more than 250 poems published
or accepted by seventy periodicals.
Paperback, 59 pages, published by Beech River Books, (January, 2007)
