“As I look over my life,
it seems of little consequence as to where I begin my story, as life
enveloped me at its will and not of my own…”
Near the end of a lifetime is the
best time to reflect. Simple narratives accomplish author David
Freemont McCready’s reflections in Verse From a Free
Mind. Free verse accounts will touch the reader’s own
experiences. The reader will find himself moved by the similar
loses, and with elations we sometimes overlook.
A collection of prose and poetry, the
book highlights how the verse is a natural presentation, using words
that come instantly into focus with the plan of the author. The text
is at times tearful, but with natural humor we experience as we grow
up. The younger reader will find the work projecting, and the mature
will in turn find a path to their own past. A rewarding and pleasant
way to bring up those memories we sometimes neglect – and those
moments we should never forget.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR Born in
central Pennsylvania during the great depression, David’s life was
influenced by the economic and political struggles of the time. At home…
politics, mechanics and electronics were the central interests of his
self-educated father. It had been the plan to make David into a
physician; however, David’s interests were fashioned by his environment.
Having attended several colleges he received a B.S. degree, in spite of
his dislike of college purpose and posture. David holds a rebellious
nature towards narrow doctrine and limited points of view. Literature,
history and independent thinking contributed to his successes and well as
failures, but it is his lifetime fascination with his watch-making
creations that are most notable. Now, as an author, David hopes to
exhibit the best of his perceptive view of life.
