Bag om Swinging Away

Swinging Away A Celebration is Victor Pearn's testament to poetry, friendship, and faith. The story of his life from joining the Marines in 1969 to becoming a professional publisher is told with his innate gift for description that captures the personalities and quirks of his colleagues and the literary luminaries that he happens to meet.

The narrative is peppered with poetry samples and musings on the natural world, academia, and spirituality. Sports fans will appreciate Pearn's tales of the 1969 Wyoming Cowboys football team and the 1957 season of the high-school basketball team, the Ashland (Illinois) Panthers.
