In this passionate collection of poetry and short stories, former Sylvan/NYC educator, David Dearborn, explores a range of modern-day cultural images. He opens with the creative short story/poem trilogy, Memoirs of a Preacher s Life, invoking the hilarious character of Auntie Nana: When I look in the mirror, all I want to see is my pretty gray wig, cataract green eyes, full lips, and enough skin around my chin to help me comfortably sleep at night; when my pillow slips on the floor.

David Dearborn manages to illuminate, so imaginatively, American captivity with the narratives, which are both political and romantic. In the marvelous poem, Stripped Naked, Dearborn explores the textures and gradients of a frustrated voter's mind, prompting him to ask, Mama can Obama release us from Osama or have we hid behind the bushes so long, we ll never be calmer? /Hillary help me see a higher ground; songs in the key of life that turn a frown-giving reference to songs of Stevie Wonder. His writings continue to embrace the fragmentary in a romantic territory, which governs the human psyche in glimpses of American culture.
