"'I do not return to Massachusetts by way of Concord Bridge,' Charlie Langdon writes here in one childhood recollection that is both a poem and a story. Similarly, this storyteller's book of poems returns to American sources from new directions: mostly West.
This book is a concentrated life story in the way 'There Was a Child Went Forth' was young Walt Whitman's life story. Charlie has gone forth and looked upon diamonds shining in a telescope, an old cherry tree reaching out to a clothesline, a green worm hanging angelically in Spring, the apocalyptic Virgin footloose in Santa Fe, a fisher in the possibility of extraterrestrial gardeners, fun and kicks with GI Joe in urban America, death at sea, dandelions."
