My Pa
By J. Patrick Lewis
Emma Wallace, 23
Farm Hand
Seymour, Iowa
I came hungry
into the world,
and for that,
look no further
than my Pa.
A history buff
and a small-p
poet, he built
so many book-
shelves, our house
became the local
lending library.
At least to those few
who knew a book
to be a friend.
