Reflected Currents From The Boston Skyline - Poems - E-book - ePub

In Reflected Currents From The Boston Skyline -Poems, the City of Boston is celebrated as a powerful, illuminating, electric force in the lives of many who live in Massachusetts: "Coming or going, near or far, you are connected to Boston one way or another. It goes with you always, like a second, beating heart through which the most important moments of your life will be filtered." Evolving from a poem the author wrote after a conversation he had with his teenage granddaughter one summer night while they were stopped in traffic on the Tobin Bridge, Reflected Currents From The Boston Skyline - Poems speaks of the power of light in our lives. From "Big Papi", a poem honoring Red Sox Hall of Famer - and  Boston Strong's -David Ortiz,  to the final poem, "Jonathan", an elegy of light, Patrick Cronin's  chapbook draws from the poet's experiences growing up near Boston as a son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, and friend.
