Cook-Fire Smoke is a collection of poetry about growing up on a blow-sand farm in Central North Dakota. It is memories of the 1940’s & 50’s in a rural community where folks were neighbors and corrected young boys when their parents weren’t there to make sure they minded their P & Qs. Herd milk cows when the pasture gets thin, remember when mothers wore aprons, bring in wood for the “Monarch Range,” snare gophers, drink milk not an hour old, visit with “Uncle Andy” the rural mail carrier, feel the goose down feather tick and the frost in the rafter room, picnic “Down where the lilacs grow”, kiss Sweet Susie, eat Mama’s spring chicken, experience the team work of the “Threshing Crew” and enjoy “Saturday Night” in a “One Horse Town.” Just some of the boyhood memories that drift back like …Cook-Fire Smoke.
