Father's Philosophy, 2nd Ed. - Paperback

by Patrick T. Randolph (Author)

In this collection of poems, Patrick T. Randolph achieves something all too few writers are able accomplish: He conveys honest joy, and he does so deeply, convincingly, and sustainedly. The book is a true pleasure to read. -Lester Smith, president, Wisconsin Fellowship of PoetsIf I could bequeath one book of poetry to my grandchildren and great grandchildren, it would be Father's Philosophy by Patrick T. Randolph. Randolph's poems are written with such love and sunshine that more than one generation should have the pleasure and privilege of reading them.-Joanne Flemming, editor of Irish Stew
