Imagining the Future: Ruminations on Fathers and Other Masculine Apparitions (Volume 1)
March 22, 2010
Format:Paperback
Authors Magdalena Ball, and Carolyn Howard-Johnson open the doorway of memory through words echoing thoughts, and feelings on fathers that are so strong they can be touched and heard through voiceless memories that forever cling to us all. Words unspoken between parents and children are uttered in these poems of pain, love,and always truth.

From the heroic to the mundane, the poems in this book are a beautiful tribute to all fathers. The imagery these two authors create with their words is profound and unique. Each poem took me to a new place and all sparked a vivid memory. These two gifted authors paint a vivid portrait on these pages. True magic.

The fathers and father figures in our lives finally get treatment in poetry beyond angry abandonment rants. Carolyn Howard-Johnson and Magdalena Ball sketch portraits of military fathers and grandsons contemplating the Founding Fathers' legacies lost on much of the youth, uncles whose bookshelves resemble ours, blind grandfathers who still see pigeons, fathers-in-law who use food as a character measuring stick, fathers who collect medleys of music blursounds, and daughters who sift science, maps and artifacts trying to decipher their fathers, and most of all, the chimaera or virtually-enhanced image of the father versus the real and sometimes painful human bond.
Fathers inhabit dragonflies and give birth to cosmic phenomena. Ball and Howard-Johnson explore the spectrum of fathers, from the galactic and godlike to the poignantly microscopic details of daily life. In lyrical fashion, Ball and Howard-Johnson prove that fathers are more than just the
pipe-smoking Fathers Knows Best or the hapless all-thumbs caricatures of modern sitcoms. Their poetry and images are in our DNA and our hearts.
