Description of the Book :
 
This collection of poetry was written in May of 2021 amid the conclusion of what will perhaps be known as the strangest year ever in education. Oscillating between free verse and flirtations with form, these lines reflect the voice of a father, husband, and teacher observing life with quiet wisdom and subtle humor. As people strive to be heard over the noise of social media and children vie for attention by attempting to shout over one another, these poems offer a quiet contrast, often conjured during the silent minutes between bedtime and sleep, or captured in spare moments between tasks in an empty classroom.
