When my father died, I found a spiral notebook written in the last months of his ten-year battle with chronic heart disease. “A Yellowed Notebook” is a collaborative/ hybrid integrating his notebook entries with my poems. The collection is structured as a “rondo;” his notebook providing the central theme, branching out and returning via three movements or sections: Family, Work, Retirement/ Diminishment, each introduced by a relevant obituary from Garment & Fur Industry periodicals. One of my readers noted that the manuscript reminded her of Natalie Cole’s “duet-mix,” “Unforgettable,” alongside Nat King Cole’s songs.
