The Waves of Change--Poetry and Prose - New Poems and Prose (Paperback)

This collection of poetry and prose covers my life past and present with frank admissions of my experience with a mental disability and subsequent hospitalization, my suffering the loss of a dear younger brother, and even gives the reader an urban legend. Some of this seminal work is the product submitted to the Chicago Neighborhood Writing Alliance literary magazine, the Journal of Ordinary Thought and to other forums. It views with nostalgia my turbulent relationship with an alcoholic Dad. It praises my experience working as a person who bags groceries for Mariano's Fresh Market. One of my pieces tells the narrative of a winter family gathering and another expresses my loss of a dear friend as well as of my precious cat, Kit Kat. Their is humor in several of my writing and a photo of Marilyn Monroe as well as my brother, Roger McNair. I hope that some day, I will reach a larger audience with my publishing.
