I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would but otherwise good. (  ) teeana | May 22, 2022 |  Esta reseña ha sido escrita para Sorteo de miembros LibraryThing. I really enjoyed this childhood memoir told through poetry. Even though I'm a California girl who grew up in the 70's/80's, I could still somewhat relate. The funniest poems in this collection had to do with the outhouse: From Inside the Outhouse, Nightman, and Half Moon at Trapdoor. I never thought poetry and poop would go together but it worked! The saddest ones were: Loss of Faith and Swimming on the Royal Reserve. The sweetest and most loving ones were: On a New Year's Eve and Between Sink and Stove. Special thanks to LibraryThing for this free e-book I won through the Member's Reviewers' Giveaway and the opportunity to read and review this poetry collection. (  ) PrettyTarantula | Aug 19, 2020 | Esta reseña ha sido escrita para Sorteo de miembros LibraryThing. The poems to me were very well orchestrated but quite sad and easily brings emotions to the table. The author does a great job grabbing the attention of his readers by bringing to life the written word by shating life experiences many have gone through. Have some tissue close at hand! ( ) Starla.Yarbrough | Oct 10, 2019 | Esta reseña ha sido escrita para Sorteo de miembros LibraryThing. Such a work of art. Mr. Prems work has a way of absorbing you in to the point that it is hard to put the book away and return to real life. just as any good book is meant to do. i look forward to reading more works of his brilliance. (  ) msitorius | Oct 9, 2019 | Esta reseña ha sido escrita para Sorteo de miembros LibraryThing. I have found my new favorite poet. I read a lot of Rod McKuen when I was growing up. Some of his were, shall we say, sexual? I haven't found any of that yet thankfully) from Mr. Prem. I wrote poetry, too, but now I just enjoy reading it. I love all the works I have by him, and I will be reading and rereading for years to come. Thank you, Mr. Prem! ( ) croknot1 | Aug 25, 2019 |
 This delightful book of poems by Frank Prem is packed with interesting poems about his childhood, growing up in a small town in Australia. I love history and also enjoy learning about people and how they live so this book appealed to both of these interests of mine. There are poems about a small child being cared for by both of his grandparents while his own parents work and the little pleasures such as eating home made poppy cakes, and peeks into the lives of close relatives such as an aunt who had a very lively spirit that showed through at certain times in her live belying the prim and proper exterior she was expected to display as a married matron. One poignant poem is about loss of faith following a tragedy ... Frank Prem is a storyteller and poet of an unusual kind. He writes about everything with a vision most of us do not see until he brings it forth. This memoir of his childhood brings you right there with him. Very easy to read and charming. This book of poems is an intriguing and insightful look at country towns ... I recognize a true storyteller when I see one, and Frank Prem definitely fits the description. From the dedication poem, “I Can Hardly Wait to Show You”, to “Circular Square Town”, Frank Prem's chronological journey from infancy to the present has a familiar feel to it ...

Small Town Kid is the experience of regional life as a child, in an insular town during the late 1960s to the mid-1970s, remote from the more worldly places where life really happens, in a time before the internet and the online existence of social media.It is a time when a small town boy can walk a mile to school and back every day, and hunt rabbits with his dog in the hours of freedom before sundown. He can hoard crackers for bonfire night and blow up the deputy school master's mailbox in an act of joyous rebellion.It is a time when a small town teenager will ride fourteen miles on a bicycle for his first experience of girls, and of love. A time when migrating from a foreign country to a small town means his family will always feel that they are strangers, while visitors to the town are treated like an invading host.It is also the remembrance of tragedy for inexperienced friends driving on narrow country roads.This collection of poems and stories shares the type of childhood that has mostly disappeared in contemporary times. Come and revisit it here, in the pages of a Small Town Kid. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
