Pumping Images

Through a selection of potent and evocative phrases, the author carefully builds up a portrait of childhood, youth and growing up in the United States. Using words with painstaking economy, Ward creates a series of sound bites that combine to weave a tale of sadness, loss, growth, revolution and change. Avove all, his words make us aware of the transitory and fragile nature of life.
