    About this ebook

    Many words, many lines. Many verses strung together. Written in quiet times. Usually alone but always with a calm and clear head. Start in the front but anywhere will work. This book is not very deep but I encourage readers to see in it what they see. Writing makes me feel complete, satisfied, and alive. Come along with me and feel it too.

    Hi poetry lovers. Get ready for a special treat, Red’s Yokum Wood the sixth in the Yokum series. Why Yokum you say? Yokum is the Native American name for the land that made his home town of Lenox Massachusetts. Oh Red is Robert’s nickname being born a redhead though his hair has long since gone grey. Born in 1949 growing up in the 50’s coming of age in the 60’s Then, after college, becoming a carpenter in the 70’s where he entered his first creative life. You’re probably wondering about the hat. It’s a Shaker hat picked up at the Hancock Shaker Village Museum where Red did restoration work.
