His mother, Emercine, wrote poetry as a teen, but unfortunately never kept any of her work. Once as a teen, Don wrote a poem and sealed it in an envelope, wanting it to stew for a while. He asked his mother to keep the envelope for a few weeks. She asked if it contained money. \"No,\" he said, \"poetry.\" Don's father, Joe, a welder, kept a copy of Rudyard Kipling's poem \"If\" folded in his wallet. Sometimes he unfolded the tattered poem and read it to his children. Like money and photos of family, he included poetry among his valuables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 108\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.22 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 16, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53344369672499,"sku":"9781938853036","price":28.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/MmWdd7PObt9781938853036.webp?v=1778725241","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/admissions-paperback-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
