| This collection of poems, ringing with autobiographical tones, is a gem of the poetic past. A series of small journeys through Ed's eyes, this chapbook tells the tales of lost landmarks, distorted realities, dying romances, liturgical mantras of life and death, observations of poetics both lost and discovered, kids with guns, Playboy subscriptions, hard times during the Depression, old age, Woodstock, Frank Sinatra, Tiny Tim, family members long gone, and the difficult life growing up poor in New York and South Philly. From the youthful days of strippers to the later years of sing-a-longs in nursing homes, this book is a slice of life, chronicling the adventures and mishaps between the pages of a sacred journal, taking the reader on the magic carpet ride through the very personal life of Ed Galing.
