About the Book
For Tress is a collection of poetry written by Peggy Pittenger during the second world war. When her husband, Tress, was transferred to the Philippines to prepare for the invasion of Japan, she hand-crafted a book of her poetry and mailed it to him as a gift. By twists of events, a rare book collector found the book and returned it to their son. The poems in this book touch on many themes and moods whose expression was tempered by a world war and the anxiety it created.
