Reflections of a Wordsmith

Reflections of a Wordsmith is a collection of poems written by Tom Dalrymple who was a former high school English teacher and avid bow hunter. The poems are an expression of his passion and love for the Arizona desert, for teaching, and for bow hunting. When you read the poems, instead of being an onlooker, you become electrified by a summer thunderstorm, smell the fragrance of wet creosote, sense the coolness of an old adobe house on a cotton farm, and follow the footsteps of a hunter tracking javelina. Tom's vision of the futures of his students and the reminiscent feelings of hope for them come through in his writings.
