Aprašymas

In his second book, Reportings, Tom Gannon has reached deep into his store of memories and historical knowledge to report on his youth, his early days as a sports fan, his life as Jesuit priest, his return to non-clerical life, his love of the natural world, his anti-war passion, his marriage and his blessed entry into grandfather-hood. These are vivid, highly readable poems introducing you to a truly Renaissance man.

PRAISE FOR TOM GANNON'S FIRST BOOK

Life's mutable moments sparkle in this autobiographical journey of poems [Food for a Journey]. The former priest, teacher, lawyer and associate editor of America magazine, who turned to painting and poetry after his retirement from a long-standing law career, here captures images of life's many scenes: the Italian grandmothers of his South Philly neighbors timidly retreating to the kitchen, the dying football coach receiving Communion and the immigrants hunting scrap metal in the trash of suburbia.
