This compilation of stories and poems takes you through the exuberant, vibrant, and detailed memories of our national treasure, Glenn Flenniken, age 95, an author who reminds us that age is only a number... This delightful third book of narrative poems continues the allegory of Glenn Flenniken's life over his mere nine decades. His memorable stories cover a wide range of experiences and loves. This work, like all of Glenn's tales, is another example of the legendary practices of good storytelling; an attempt to include features of humor and personal interest written in the spoken vernacular of his environment, culture, or work. Much like Mark Twain wrote about the Mississippi River, Glenn Flenniken takes us through the farmlands and coastal regions of central and southern California and along with him on escapades that only a man of his generation can recall. You'll feel his passion and intensity as you go from boyhood memories to WWII navy tales to romantic remembrances of lost loves. You will find assorted irony, satire, and historical events of contrast and inconsistency, and topics which are just plain amusing in Glenn's words to "poke fun at." No matter the subject or the time, these lyrical tales will again escort you through Glenn's life with his unique style, insights, feeling, and wit. As one of the last remaining representatives of his generation who remembers the depression, WWII, the Korean conflict, our changing technological environment, and so much more-you owe it to yourself to take it in. There won't be too many more "real-life" memoirs like these. Without his vivid recall, these commemorations would be lost forever.As his publisher, I am pleased that at 95+ he is still producing works for us to savor. I am sure you'll enjoy Glenn's astounding work in this volume.--Sunny Baker, Ph.D PublisherManor Publishing Collectivebooksbyseniors.orgmanorcollective.com
