Tonight on Inquiry, we welcome back HEIDI E. Y. STEMPLE. She is the author of almost fifty books, and numerous stories and poems, mostly for young readers. Her new book, THE POETRY OF CAR MECHANICS, is something different: an adult novel written in verse. This is a powerful story of growing up in a family often disrupted by the confusion caused by a parent with bipolar disorder. This is also a book curiously about car and bird repair, and the calming power of the natural world. (photo by Sheila Carroll)
