An excellent collection of poetry by the Poet Laureate of Southbridge, Massachusetts. Each poem is a reflection of Bill Tremblay's poetic memories about growing up in a Massachusetts factory town in a working-class Franco-American Catholic family. These coming-of-age poems trace the sensibilities of a boy developing toward a highly-imaginative poetic vision. His lyrical meditations on the flow of the Quinebaug River as a spiritual symbol also celebrate enduring love among siblings in a sometimes challenging family history.
