Ed Galing's chapbook about the nostalgia of America's lost diners is a sad, compelling, and perfect commentary on our times. The poems take you through the emotions and details of a slower-paced life where people relaxed and were not always on the go; a life where a man could enjoy his cup of coffee with his wife by his side in the comfort and welcoming environment of the soft bustle of feet, the slinging of eggs and ham, the rubbing of elbows at the high-tops, the smiles and chatter of old friends, and the cradled booths, dusty menus, and foggied windows of America's diners. Complete with Ed's cute little diner sketches, this book takes you from diner to diner, each one labeled with name and town, telling you the stories of the patrons, the waitresses, the cooks, the smells, the feel, and the quirks of the ones he loves most. added on 2008-12-20
