Poetry. Robert L. Tener's sixth book of poetry, DEPRESSION DAYS ON AN APPALACHIAN FARM, combines clear diction and sensuous detail in these portraits of the Appalachian landscape and it's effects on a relationship between father and son. "Robert Tener's early years on a farm in southern Ohio.turned him into a poet whose best work is muscular and tender and bursting with life. Tener builds poems the same way he once built a house for his family-with his own two hands, one brick and one board at a time"-Steven DeGama. Tener is a professor emeritus from Kent State University.
