ABSTRACT
This book, my second published book is dedicated to my son, Frank Daly who died an untimely death in November of 2021 and the first two poems are about him. This is a book of poetry written over about 59 years of my life and also it includes popular sayings, many from a very wise Salvadoran grandmother who lived in the mining town of El Mochito in Honduras for many years. The poems are written about family, philosophical topics, and with musings principally about mining and surveying, mineral exploration and Latin America and it was published in January of 2024 and is about 16,000 words long. This book was published by Friesen Press as it was my first book From the Erzgebirge to Potosiabout the history of geology and mining in the last 500 years and also the close connection between mining, geology and society especially of the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution.
