About the Book

This highly personal and beautifully crafted poetry reflects the life experiences and many of the pivotal events of that generation of men and women who endured the Great Depression, fought in World War Two, came home, raised families and attempted to rebuild a stability in America which had been stripped away by poverty and war.

About the Author

Born August 5, 1922 in Bangor, Maine, Bernard was born into a growing family that would eventually include 12 children. He served for five years during WW II in the US Army Air Corps and was mustered out in 1945 with the rank of Technical Sergeant. He wed Ethel Rosemary Attinger in 1947. Bernard graduated From Rutgers University, Phi Beta Kappa, in 1951 and went on to a long teaching career until retirement in the early 1980's. He presently resides in Wilmington, Delaware near his daughter Maire. As much as he loves his family, Bernard loves Maine. Its lakes, forests, mountains, and granite coastline are presented throughout his work. His poems offer each of us the world observed through a poet's eyes and expressed with a poet's gift to reveal and illuminate our own loves, joys, fears, and struggles.
