It is of utmost importance to clarify that the 'father' that I have written of in an unflattering light in the scorched earth is NOT the father I recognize, meaning I am NOT writing of James C. McQuaid. The details are of lesser importance than the understanding that these poems are NOT about or of my experience with my father, Jim McQuaid, whose love of his three children is well known.
