"Paul and Papa, Innocence and Emotions," is a book of poems that is a collaboration of first grader Paul Vernick and retired physician, grandfather, Harris Vemick, It is a book of poems in three parts. Part 1 is the work of Paul, who has been writing and publishing poetry on the internet since he was younger then five years old. He is the youngest published poet in the United States. Part 2 is an eclectic group of poems by Papa. Part 3 are the Japanese poems, Haiku, especially the styles of Tanka and Haibun, written by Harris Vemick. "Paul and Papa" is a book for the generations because of the innocence reflected by the work of Paul, now in the early part of his first generation of life, and the emotions found in the work of Harris, now living in his third generation. This book shares with you the laughter and joys of life and the pain that many of us experience as we live. We hope you enjoy reading our book of poetry as much as we enjoyed writing it.
