Angela’s Ashes, A Memoir by Frank McCourt

"Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood," writes Frank McCourt in Angela's Ashes. "Worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood." Welcome, then, to the pinnacle of the miserable Irish Catholic childhood.

My daughter brought me a book
After dumpster diving several months ago.
In this small/large mining community,
It is acceptable, commended, actually,
If you find something of import. Commonally,
Another man’s treasure is found
At the dump, the dump here is a
Dumpster, emptied whenever, once a week,
I presume. Books are thrown out, among the trash.

To be cont.
