I've worked in the small-town media all my life, mostly in newspapers. This is my view of what weekly newspapers do best. Yes, they print the news, but more important, they serve as family correspondence. In fact, at least one newspaper that I worked for billed itself as "The Letter from Home"
We went to watch the printing of Our local Weekly every Thursday night, when I was a child. We acted like idiot boys We were, while the Printer--Parent and friend to all of Us--made the Presses crank over. He sent Us all home to bed, as he started to bundle the Papers. He was there the next morning, to drive the local School bus. Beautiful memories, lgl.
This collection of poetry addresses the nature of time, reflections on the natural world, the difficulty of loss,
contemporary social issues and gratitude for life.
Early Works is an exhaustive compilation of the first decade of the poems and stories of Z.B.McClure. Included are family photos, rare personal photos, photos of 1st draft manuscripts of many of his early poems. Also some biography and memoir materia
So Beautiful and Heart touching.
