Once Upon a Small-Town Time: Poems of America's Heartland

by Louis Daniel Brodsky

Poetry. "As the title of this collection suggests, the poems in Louis Daniel Brodsky's ONCE UPON A SMALL-TOWN TIME have a soothing sort of lullaby quality characteristic of bedtime tales. Conceived as a metaphoric road trip through three Midwestern towns and across a quarter century, the poems are steeped in an uplifting nostalgia, but without the cloying sentimentality. The observations are fond, even wistful, but never anything but fair and clear and unexaggerated in their effect"--Charles Rammelkamp.

This was an interesting book -- great story about a town in Nebraska that went all out for soldiers during World War II. However, I really wish the author had included photographs of the people, town, etc. His descriptions were good, but photographs or drawings would have been better.
