As the fair celebrates another successful year of bringing together the brightest minds in publishing, Citi of Books proudly joins the festivities at the 77th Frankfurter Buchmesse, showcasing inspiring titles from its talented authors. Among the featured works in the Book Gallery is “Three Voices” by Kathy Ruth Haack, Randall W. Haack and Tracy Leigh Hall — a book that invite us to listen—to three voices, three stages of life, three poetic points of view.
Randall W. Haack brings an engineering background to his poetic efforts—his poetry often reveals underlying patterns, structure, and the wonder of design. Kathy Ruth Haack (née Hall) writes from relational and data-rich ground, exploring how life’s facts and feelings intertwine. She contributes poems about faith, family, and memory. Tracy Leigh Hall, the daughter, offers a voice informed by beauty, change, and what comes next. Her poems speak of growing, of transition, and of how legacy transforms.
In “Three Voices,” readers will encounter three overlapping yet distinct poetic streams. Randall’s poems reflect an analytical mind—structures, order, the mathematics of faith and existence. Kathy’s work travels a more relational terrain—connections, memory, emotion, and how life’s data shapes identity. Tracy’s pieces bring an intuitive tone—beauty, surprise, youthful longing, reflection on legacy and becoming. Together, the collection paints a layered portrait of family, generational change, faith traditions, and the quiet power of poetry to articulate what often remains unspoken. The “three voices” metaphor extends beyond authorship into the thematic heart of the book: that each life speaks differently, yet resonates with the same truths.
“Three Voices” stands out because it invites readers into a genuine family conversation, framed in poetry. The structure—three authors, one collection—offers both variety and unity. Readers who enjoy poetry grounded in faith, heritage, and lived experience will find much to appreciate. The engineering-/mathematical sensibility of Randall offers precision; Kathy’s relational and data-driven poems bring warmth and insight; Tracy’s youthful voice adds freshness and hope.
The blending of voices mirrors the blending of life: change, continuity, distance, connection. For those interested in family legacies, inter-generational dialogue, or Christian poetry with authenticity, this book provides a meaningful experience.
Through their poems, we hear how faith, purpose, legacy, and identity evolve across generations. It’s more than a poetry collection—it’s a family’s story told in verse, and an invitation for readers to reflect on their own voice, heritage, and what they might add to the chorus of life.
