Father’s Day Feature: Honoring the late Joseph Thomas Baker
On this Father’s Day, Dandelion Scribes presents a special tribute to the late Joseph Thomas Baker of Kentucky. Since his passing in 2011, the treasure trove of poetry he left behind has kept his memory alive in his family’s hearts. Read five poems authored by Joseph, with titles selected by his daughter Allison— and perhaps you’ll even be inspired to write a little something of your own. All photos courtesy of Allison Baker.
