Edward Bird enjoyed the best of two worlds. Born in Pittsburgh, he grew up in small-town Clearfield, Pennsylvania, before returning to "big city life" and an advertising career in Pittsburgh and later Memphis, Tennessee. Now retired in Mississippi, he put years of observations and experiences into rhyme in this volume.
