Family has three sections: Boyhood, Living with loss, and Living with gratitude. Poems of childhood and their magical innocence make up the first section. The deaths of family and friends are confronted in the second section. The third section consists of poems that help the poet relieve some of life's pain by being grateful for his children, his long life, and the beauty of the world he lives in. Figurative language, sharp images, and a love of metaphor make the poems work.
