In the heart of a Wisconsin dairy farm, where the days are measured by the rhythm of the harvest and the breath of the herd, lies a story of what it means to belong.Nuances of Family is a lyrical journey through the soil and soul of a rural childhood. Through intimate, sensory-rich free verse, Thomas Cannon captures the grit and grace of farm life—the scent of fresh-cut hay, the weight of calloused hands, and the quiet strength of the bonds that tie us to the land and to each other.More than a memoir in verse, this collection is an honest exploration of the love, labor, and legacy that define a family. It is an invitation to pause, breathe, and rediscover the profound beauty found in the simplest moments of growing up.
