Frank spends a large amount of time on Truman’s family life, movingly depicting his marriage to Bess Truman, who loathed Washington and fiercely guarded her privacy. It is an approach that fits his subject: Frank’s depiction of Truman is of a man perpetually outside his comfort zone, preferring bourbon and branch water in his home of Independence, Missouri, to martinis on the DC cocktail circuit. This is a character study of an introverted personality in a profession that rewards loud performance. It is a humbler, more focused book, with Truman’s pre-presidential life relegated to an extended prologue. Frank frames his subject in a different way from David McCullough’s completist, Pulitzer Prize–winning doorstopper. a book that, in its timing, acts almost as a blueprint for a liberal president to navigate a challenging world, focused through the prism of a man who was nobody’s real first choice for president and yet forged an envious record. ![]() Rudy francisco books6/9/2023 ![]() ![]() The longer poems are great as grand slam poems and the shorter ones as memes or flip-thinking. They’re about mundane situations and feelings, with a straightforward message or opinion that makes you look better at the world around you.

There is much more to them than meets the eye. ![]() Many of the poems are short stories that could be summaries of books. ![]() After a while, when the newness fades away, this whole new word invention theme gets a bit tedious and I stopped paying attention to the words.

The new words in the first part of I’ll Fly Away have to do with death, growing up, and uncertainty. ![]() Rats saw god by rob thomas6/9/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() It doesn’t take long before Patrick is mingling with the rich and famous and doing all kinds of things he never thought he would – like cheating on his girlfriend, lying to his parents, and losing his best friend.
