Publisher's Note A view, in verse, of the 1960s, undoubtedly one of the grimmest periods in American history. From the JFK assassination to the Kent State tragedy "Fragments" is a poetic montage which captures the fervor & impact of that decade, recreated by this award winning poet. Its vivid recall of that dark day in Dallas, the motel in Memphis & the flag going half staff in Los Angeles are all stark reminders we haven't traversed far enough. Huge asks the painfully blunt question, what if the Creator never carried evolution that final step? The equally painful answer is contained in "The Pond," his 1992 Iliad award winning poem. In addition, there's a sobering Christmas piece as well as a satire on baseball, while the reader is treated to page after poignant page of powerful verse & rhyme. A must for those interested in what has been described as the most pivotal decade of this century.
