All of Our Yesterdays by Amy Shannon
This book is dedicated to my father, and also features some of his own poetry, and essays. My father has dementia now, but he always had the mind of a genius (he was literally a genius with an IQ of 162), but as time went on, he had the heart of a poet. He may not be able to read anymore, but I’m sure, somewhere, there is still a poem in his heart. My father, himself was a great poet.
My father’s legacy will live on, even if it’s just words, because it’s never just words.
