Poetry. The poems of A CLOCK WITH NO HANDS celebrate, with all the rust and anger in a dying mill town, the author's memories and experiences growing up in Lowell, Massachusetts in the 1940s and 50s. "His language is clear, without tricks or fancy moves, yet his directness is powerful, and the effect are human" - Paul Zimmer. "In these poems there is a finite and definable portrait of a time and a city. The city was the ethnic Lowell, Massachusetts where and when both Jack Kerouac and Anne Sexton attended high school. The poetry itself is a terrific read and I had both the nostalgic and the proverbial time of my life reading this book, including the contents page, twice over. Further, for those Kerouac fans not lucky enough to be from Lowell, the book is a must buy, must have, must read" - Michael Casey.
