BY HARRY HALLMAN

Philly Tales, 1940s-1970s is the printed and eBook version of forty-six real-life short stories about my experiences growing up in the Kensington section of Philadelphia during the 1940s to the 1970s. This book includes links to an exclusive photo gallery on the Mercy Row website, as well as links to various Philadelphia historical groups on Facebook.

"Over the last seven years, I have written over one hundred stories about my childhood living in Kensington. I chose what I believe are the 46 best for this book. I realize that many older folks, such as me, may not be comfortable using Facebook or the internet. This book will give them access to these stories and hopefully bring back their memories of those youthful days.

I look forward to sharing this book with my children and granddaughter, so they have an opportunity to see what “the old man” I experienced as a child. Don’t worry. They are all grown now, so they won’t get and behavioral ideas from my stories. 😊"
-Harry Hallman

I was happy to discover Merwin's poetry.
Format: Paperback
Great collection of some of Merwin's early poetry. There's a mystical mysterious feel too a lot of his writing, which I like.

A Reading of "The Last One"
Format: Paperback
This poem represents Merwin at his insidious best, the conversational tone of the poem slowly leading to something imminently and undefinably dark, doom-laden. The poem was originally published in "The Lice" a book of poems written in the French countryside where, Merwin says, "I felt at once a profound attraction to the rural world in which I was living and a disquieting recognition of the fragility and uncertainty of my relation to it." "The Last One" ominously conveys that disquiet.
