I loosed My Father's Boots is Marjorie Laughlin's first collection of poetry. Her poems include remembrances of her childhood on the family farm on Ribbon Ridge and small town living in the Chehalem valley in Oregon. Her poems are wide ranging. A visit to family friends in a small village in Italy resulted in her poem Generations. Working in her garden and observing the beauty of the iris led to A Tale of Two Queens, Marjorie doesn't shy away from social issues or even existential ones. A Thirty Foot Drop discusses hazards facing homeless persons. Resurrection Day is about capital punishment. Picnic on the Beach reflects on the possibility of a nuclear conflagration. A Visit shows the heartache of dementia . Many of Marjorie's poems reflect on nature. Her approach with familiar subjects sometimes comes with a twist.
