Sobre IBD

Back Then Until Now, is a collection of life’s memories written in poems. These poems give insight of a farm boy growing up during the Great Depression with four brothers and three sisters. Some poems portray happy memories of farm life while others are of true sibling rivalry. All show firm family ties with deep love and respect for parents. There are poems of lessons learned, as a family works and plays together during hard times. Holidays are well represented throughout the book with Christmas being especially remembered. Farm animals played major rolls in our earning a living. The animal verses are written as they were seen through the eyes and thoughts of a young boy. There are poems about questions and answers between father and son concerning life on the farm, struggling times and how family love and humor were always present. This great country is remembered with love, respect and dignity. Poems are told by a great-grandpa to his special grandchildren. This book includes poems for everyone, whether serious, funny or sad. It takes a farm boy from Back Then Until Now.
