Summary:With incredible insight and love, Kim Stafford offers a view into the remarkable life of his father, the poet William Stafford ... Carefully sifting through his father's papers-thousands of poems written on napkins, grocery receipts, letters-Kim follows acopious trail of words matched only by his father's silences. Kim is able to visit his father's life in a deeply personal way and, asa result, beautifully illuminates William Stafford as someone who was unafraid to stare into emptiness and to live a life so fully inthe moment that he was able to touch countless lives with a single poem.
