Description

Forty-Sixth Street is a life raft for readers treading the deep waters of life, a consoling, compassionate and intensely personal collection, a book of honest self-examination. It is deal for readers who appreciate accesible, thoughtful poetry presented in a diversity of style and form that embraces the language of the common day man. Bill Gleeson revisits five decades mixing the hope and happiness of childhood with the regrets and nostalgia of middle age. Semi- autobiographical and often times comically surreal, the poems of this monumental collection take the reader along for a ride, an immigant journey through forgotten times, towns, and the back roads of Jersey.
