About The Book Here are samples from a lifetime of reading and writing and teaching classical and contemporary poetry and literature with deep interests in history, philosophy and psychology and religions. These poems have visions that we hope invite your attention. In Poetry Nan has some fun with commonly revered icons and received forms and formations, and finally seduces her favorite poet. In Politics she ridicules the tawdry immorality of international spies, popular journalism and petty racism. Back to School remembers high times with her remarkable students. In The City takes us to some of the foolishness of jury selections, and her thrall in city scenes. In The Country we read of some poignant bucolic experiences she loves, joyful and sad, and Head and Heart expresses Nan's personal concerns: interactions with friends, lovers, political actions, religion and hope. The story Church Fair exposes the interactions of a gang of church congregants at a fundraising event in a squabble over worthless secondhand merchandise. Daddy is a short-short story that is taken from a real account in the Los Angeles Tribune.
