Publisher’s Overview

“Mianus Village provides vivid descriptions of the people, places, and events in the author's younger years, growing up in the rough and tumble atmosphere of “hardscrabble” government housing, established for World War II veterans.

“The poems in this book are vigorous and compelling, always comprehensible but never simplistic. They tell a story that pulls the reader forward at breakneck speed. They are full of wit and graphic detail.”

— Robert Rennie McQuilkin, Connecticut Poet Laureate (2015-2018); Publisher   of Antrim House Books
