"A Forester’s Son and Other Poems" is a follow up the slightly earlier "Village Lives and Other Poems" and also deals with the poems written in recent years by Wm. Baldwin. William (or Billy as he’s usually called) is a lifelong resident of the South Carolina Low Country and at 71 a pretty good student of both life and the country. Before retirement he had worked as a commercial fisherman and residential contractor while still finding the time to write dozens of well received books, each a treatment of “the complex beauty, apparent turmoil, and downright mystery” he sees around him. This collection is no exception. He presents the poems here in the order written—"A Forester’s Son" drawing on roughly the second half of those composed. As in "Village Lives" the result is a diary like collection that will take the reader by surprise, make him or her laugh, shake their head, sigh, perhaps cry, for its nothing less than a full, human experience.
