Wishful Thinking

A brilliant memoir… written in verse. Witty, whimsical, and enriched with the wisdom of a long life well-lived, this fourth installment of nonogenarian WWII veteran Nathan Polsky’s collected poetry continues to inspire joy, wonder, and thoughtful introspection in readers of all ages. It’s light verse with a serious side–traditional in that these poems rhyme, but modern in their ideas and the themes they address. Despite his 92 years of age, he writes: ‘Come out, come out, wherever you’re hiding! I’ll never stop playing that game! I’ll never stop searching for meaning and goals. If smart, you’ll do the same!’ The whole family can enjoy Polsky’s game of hide and seek called ‘poetry.’ - Verna Safron, teacher and published poet
