Mark Borczon's He Was A Good Father is a hard-earned devotion to the facts. In these poems you sense a man's life being redeemed before your eyes. With every word you can feel the effort of a wise man rising from bed. His pean to John Henry, working-class hero, will make you bust a gut laughing and, in the same breath, gasp in pain. And don't miss "Bottom Shelf Vodka, " a love poem so piercing in its purity it will stop you from reading. Spread the word, this book is a long-awaited celebration. - Geoff Peterson, author of 3:30: Nocturnes and Etudes | He was a Good Father by Mark Borczon, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
