Book Review: Poppy

​Poppy: A Novel About A Colorful Colorado Life is a family memoir written about Poppy by his grandson, Jack Maher. I love family history, and I love it when a child or grandchild feels that their progenitors are worthy of recall.

Eric Douglas's life, known affectionately as Poppy, is incredible. Through him, we learn about Native Americans in and around Colorado, especially their art and the processes (clay, paint, beadwork, and more) passed on through the generations. We watch Poppy push Native American art to the forefront in Denver, but also in New York City, and San Francisco. We learn of his new ways to display art, his 'fashion shows' highlighting textile art, and his work to provide live demonstrations.

Poppy lived an unusual life that often took him from his family. But still, his family meant everything to him. I loved learning about Poppy, and I think you will, too!
