“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.
