Diving into Poetry Forms

“Diving into Poetry Forms is delightful. The anthology shares an array of voices, woven together beautifully page by page with a mix of tenderness, wit, sorrow and joy.

This poetry book is one to savor, again and again.”--Jennifer Mills Kerr, Published Poet & Workshop Facilitator

Kurt Struble
A collection of writings about growing up in Michigan in the 1050s.
Short stories, poems, and narratives mostly about a ten- to sixteen-year-old boy growing up in Durand, Michigan, a small mid-western town during the 1950s, and summers spent at the family cottage on Tawas Point in "up north" Michigan, at a time when kids were free with one requirement: Be home in time for dinner. The boy in Tales From a Mid-Century Boy shows readers what it was like growing up in Mid-Century America. It acknowledges how lucky we were to have been a kid growing up in America during the golden years, 1950-1965.
