Poetry. "DEAR DAD is a pocket-sized chapbook by Bill Luoma, who lives in Honolulu and is the author of three previous books: WORKS & DAYS, Swoon Rocket, and Western Love. DEAR DAD is a diarylike collection of brief letters written to Luoma's father, who is struggling with a stroke and impending death. The fifty entries, each beginning with 'Dear Dad,' tell Luoma's father's story as a series of remembered events, providing intimate details of a life and death"—Barbara Boncek. Luoma's work spans narrative autobiography, lyric poetry, visual poetry, and sound poetry.

Dear Dad,
You can't remember but you were angry after the stroke. I thought it was funny that you would yell at the staff and crack. Shit fuckers you would yell and crack me when I was laughing holding you down securing the straps. Your fingernails were thick and long and you picked at the straps and the skin around the straps. I was proud that you were so strong.
