    About this ebook

    Although his poetry has been published in several anthologies with other poet's
    work, it has never been collected in a book of his own. This is the first.

    Under the Oak collects poems previously shared, and some that will be new to readers. We have tried to include a broad sample, hoping to find something for everyone to enjoy and re-read in the future.
