Ghostly Embers: Visions of Toledo

By Larry Rochelle

West Toledo inspired these poems by Larry Rochelle, GHOSTLY EMBERS, and each poem is a vision, often accurate, yet sometimes skewed, of life during the decade of the 1950s. Factory workers come home tired after a long day, yet still find energy to play fast-pitch softball. Teenagers do their homework, while chatting with friends and drinking a chocolate Coke at the corner drug store. Political threats of the McCarthy Era dominate conversation, yet the dark clouds signal only a storm, not nuclear holocaust.
