lovely.......2007-08-20
this makes a great gift, i purchased 6 copies of this book for friends as a going away present. the poems are all-purpose, i think the title is a misnomer... i'd recommend to anyone who likes unpretentious quality poetry
humor, pathos, above average!.......2007-02-18
Garrison Keeler is a master. Great for upper elementary and middle school children to read too.
Keillor's selection of poetry.......2007-01-12
Garrison Keillor has an uncommon ability to select poetry that inspires the mind by creating accessible images that speak to the reader more than the usual turgid poetry. I thoroughly enjoyed his selections even though I do not share his religious leanings (about 5 % have Christian references). The poems he chooses have universal appeal.
A comfort to me during my most difficult trial.......2006-12-26
I stumbled into this book at the library - about 2 weeks after my wife passed away suddenly - I loved the introduction, and the poems really hit home hard, and really were a comfort - and it seemed that nothing anyone could say was very comforting, but the words through literature was comforting. So after reading this at the library I wanted to make sure I owned a copy of this book as this is a book I'll want to read over and over again. I can't say more about what an excellent collection this is, and of course, It think Garrison Keillor is probably one of the most incredible comic geniuses of our modern era -
Another Keillor 'must' read.......2006-11-20
Nothing that Garrison Keillor writes should be ignored. A good percentage of what he writes, reads just as he sounds on his unique show 'A Prairie Home Companion', which is to say, great. Another reviewer has noted the quality and importance of his Introduction. Ditto ! Me too. This book will not make you feel good. It will make you feel better, if you are down and out and want to know that you are not crazy, that there is a lot of bad stuff out there, people are in the same boat, it's a big boat, and there are life preservers. Some of these poems are life preservers. Some others may make you want to go overboard. Avoid this urge. Not healthy. "These poems describe a common life. It is good to know about this. I hope you take courage from it." Well done, Mr keillor, well said.

Book Description
Pie Town, New Mexico, was immortalized in 1940 in the photographs of Russell Lee, who documented life in the high, dry farming community as part of the Farm Security AdministrationÂ's New Deal survey of American life. This book tells the story of one of the women photographed by Lee. Doris Caudill lived on a homestead with her husband and daughter, who was six years old when Lee made his famous photographs, many of which show Doris planting her garden, canning vegetables, and milking cows. Now, more than sixty years later, Joan Myers, herself a distinguished photographer, introduces us to the woman behind the pictures.
Raised in West Texas, Doris first came to Pie Town on summer trips as a teenager. Faro Caudill courted her in Pie Town and brought her as a young bride to live in a dugout on a homestead in nearby Divide. Money was as scarce as water in this desert community, and a trip to Albuquerque, 180 miles away, was unimaginable. The Caudills went there only once while they lived in Pie Town, to buy a radio at Montgomery Ward. The nearest doctor was 60 miles from Pie Town, so babies were born at home and mothers had to be vigilant against accidents and snakebites. Although the Caudills and their neighbors lived in poverty that is hard for twenty-first-century Americans to imagine, DorisÂ's memories of those Great Depression days are the happiest of her life. She was a lively young woman in the 1930s, and her sense of fun and the pleasure that the people in the tiny community took in each otherÂ's company more than made up for the hardships they endured.
Joan Myers tells DorisÂ's story and recounts the experiences of Russell and Jean Lee during their stay in Pie Town. Woven through MyersÂ's narrative are her musings on the relationships among memory, photographs, and actual events. Included are a selection of LeeÂ's iconic photographs, DorisÂ's family snapshots, and photographs taken by Myers herself showing the visual residue of those bygone years.

Tells the compelling story of one of the women photographed by FSA photographer Russell Lee, with additional photographs by the author.

Can You Imagine A Town Called Pie Town?.......2004-04-29
At first when I read the title of the book, Pie Town Woman, authored by Joan Myers, I could not imagine a town being called Pie Town! However, the town actually exists and is located in New Mexico. Its population is about 55 persons, certainly not a metropolis!
You may ask how the town derived its name? Apparently, around 1922 a fellow by the name of Clyde Norman came to New Mexico in order to homestead. As he could not find a desirable property he decided to open a mining operation on a forty-acre piece of land that later became known as Highway 60. In order to survive he opened a grocery store that sold various items such as food, gasoline, kerosene and other commodities.
Norman saw the opportunity to sell doughnuts to his customers and this in turn led him to bake and sell pies. The pies became an immediate success and he soon replaced his original sign to read "Pie Town." Eventually Norman sold his enterprise to someone by the name of Harmon L. Craig who was instrumental in convincing the appropriate authorities to call the town Pie Town.
A photographer by the name of Russell Lee and his wife Jean became acquainted with Pie Town in April of 1940. They were very moved by the fortitude of the homesteaders who farmed in and around the area and how they barely eked out a living. As the author states, "the people were enacting the role of pioneers in the legendary drama of a frontier community. Although the Depression was a desperate time, the days when a family could clear a patch of land, raise a few crops, and be contentedly self-sufficient were over in the rest of the country."
Lee, who was an employee of the Farmers Security Administration and other New Deal Agencies, convinced his boss, Roy Styker, that it would be extremely useful to tell the story of this part of New Mexico with a series of photographs in order to convince the FSA to adopt programs to aid homesteaders. At the time no programs of this nature existed.
During the course of his stay in Pie Town, Lee and his wife had taken innumerable photographs that served as an historical record of small-town America. These photographs ultimately have found their way into the archives of the Library of Congress. Among the more than six hundred photos taken of Pie Town and vicinity were about one hundred taken of a woman by the name of Doris Caudill, her husband Faro and their daughter Josie.
In 1984, photographer and writer Joan Myers found herself in Pie Town on her way back from visiting her brother in Arizona. She vaguely remembered Russell Lee, the photographer, and his photographs of Pie Town. However, what did in fact leave a lasting impression on Myers was a photograph of a woman looking proudly at one of her jars of canned goods. This woman was Doris Caudill.
Myers decided to track down Doris and she is led to Cascade Locks, Oregon. The book recounts the many conversations the author has with Doris describing her life as a homesteader. The lack of food, medical care, electricity, water accessibility and even the difficulty of burying people are all portrayed by their conversations and some of Doris's photos that are shared with the author. Eventually, spurned on by her curiosity and the stories recounted to her by Doris, Myers returns to Pie Town and the nearby town of Divide where Doris actually lived.
The book is generously illustrated with reproductions of several of Russell Lee's photographs as well as those of the author. It is these photographs that compliment the author's conversations with Doris in depicting the social, economic, and geographic elements that characterized many of these small towns during the Depression.
One criticism I have about the book is that there should have been some background information as to what was the homestead law and what exactly was homesteading. The author apparently presumes that the reader is aware of one of the most important laws ever passed in the United States. Unfortunately, many readers never heard of the law or its objective.
Another shortcoming of the book is the lack of coherent organization of the various chapters. For example, the chapter dealing with Russell Lee should have appeared at the very beginning of the book in order to give the reader an idea as to what were the objectives of the photographs.
Apart from these shortcomings, readers of this book will be captivated by the hardships endured by many homesteaders wherever they may have been living during the terrible Depression years.

Pie Town, Photos, and the use of Propaganda........2002-03-17
This is a fascinating account of a vanished place and attitudes that explores the use of photography to tell a story and create a point of view. This is both a honest unvarnished look at a hard life and an exploration of the manner in which pictures make their own reality. The structure of the book is excellent and the narrow focus on an isolated part of New Mexico expands to shed light on the entire country,
A PIE TOWN WOMAN'S LIE.......2001-10-04
THE WORDS WRITTEN IN THIS BOOK ARE THE WORDS OF AN INSANE OLD WOMAN. THIS IS WHAT I CALL A POOR ME BOOK THAT IN NO WAY TELLS THE TRUTH. THE BOOK WAS WRITTEN FOR ATTENTION AND NOTHING ELSE.
THE BOOK IS A COMICAL RELIEF TO THE PEOPLE WHO REALLY KNOW DORIS. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU ONLY BUY THIS BOOK FOR A BIT OF HUMOR AND NOTHING ELSE.
Photography & History & Personal Essay all in one great book.......2001-10-02
This was the most interesting book I've read in years. As a photographer with a minor interest in history of the Western US, I found this book to be an intriguing mix. Initially I was uncertain that a book written by a photographer (from a photographer's point of view) could really go beyond simple observations, but Joan Myers does a great job in doing just that. Though the title of the book and much of the subject matter refers to a woman who grew up in the 1930s & 1940s - it is a history of a way of life gone from most of the country, it is about Russell Lee, a photographer in the 1940s, it is about the modern West, and it is about Joan Myers herself. The great thing about this book is that with great photographs from the early 1900s to 1940s mixed with the author's own wonderful modern photographs (which give the feeling that not much has changed in the Pie Town area since the 1940s) mixed with a text which reads much like a journal- the book becomes a history lesson even for people who aren't fans of reading history. It should also appeal to fans of early 20th C. photography because it gives insight to photographs well beyond the typical "this is what was happening then" caption.

Book Description
In this bittersweet and beautifully written memoir, Carolyn See embarks on nothing less than a reevaluation of the American Dream. Although it features a clan in which dysfunction was something of a family tradition, Dreaming is no victim's story. With a wry humor and not a trace of self-pity, See writes of fights and breakups and hard times, but also of celebration and optimism in the face of adversity. The story of See's family speaks for the countless people who reached for the shining American vision, found it eluded their grasp, and then tried to make what they had glitter as best they could.
Customer Reviews:
A moving dream.......2005-05-17
The author's resilience, capacity for love, life, and forgiveness, wring at my heart. After reading this book I feel she is an amazing woman, and this is a gripping story.
Real life!.......2001-08-17
This book left me with that feeling that you get after a long ride on a bike - wrung out and exhausted, but glad I went. Carolyn See holds nothing back, and this is at times a harrowing story. But it's ultimately about redemption, and of walking through fire and coming out the other side a better person. It's also beautifully written, with a style that is unpretentious and effortless. If you grew up in a "perfect" family, or even one that's relatively functional (bad pun - sorry!), you probably won't appreciate this book. If you grew up with alcoholics and divorce and police coming to the door and living out of cars, and like that, then you'll recognize a lot of the people in this book. I loved this book for Carolyn See's honesty, and also for her wit; she is a joy to read, and I would recommend this book to anyone (except maybe the Cleavers). Enjoy!!
Dreaming--not quite a nightmare.......2000-07-02
I was assigned this book to read prior to a memoir writing class at a summer workshop, just over. Both I and the other class members found the book unsatisfying because of its erratic organization. The pictures were helpful, but the inclusion of material not written by the author detracted from her story. The final somewhat hopeful epiphany at Clara's wedding was worth reading, but it took too long to get us there. And she's still drinking. I could not help comparing my own life on the east coast during the same years with hers; I worked hard, didn't abuse alcohol or drugs, and stayed married to the same spouse for 48 years (at last count). My career in medicine was very satisfying. I can't understand how her account of such a dysfunctional family and culture receives such applause, especially when it's difficult to follow as written. I guess we all face different choices in life.
Great book, wonderful person behind it.......2000-06-07
As a recent graduate of UCLA I have had the pleasure of taking two of Carolyn See's creative writing courses. She is such a warm & funny lady, one with such a charming disposition and wonderful attitude towards life in general that you would never guess the kinds of hardships she has endured. Her work is fascinating, and Dreaming is a prime example of how fine and realistic a writer she is. I'd recommend this book and all other works by Carolyn because she is truly remarkable with her pen, coming through with a very powerful storytelling voice.
A Great Book.......2000-05-21
At times, this book left me stunned. This is a well written autobiographical account of the author's life, but also, in many respects a social history of a section of post WWII Los Angeles. See takes her own life and places it within the broader context of the history of California and America. I am sure that her experiences are common, but this seems like a device to lessen the shame and sting of coming from a poor, dysfunctional background.
Although See attained career success, the book is organized around her personal relationships and at times you just wonder how she survived emotionally.
What also struck me were the educational and economic opportunities available to poor white people in Los Angeles back then. But See doesn't seem to acknowledge that there was a social structure in place to make sure that she had opportunity so that her hard work would pay off.
This is a great book and I highly recommend it.

Its only Rock N' Roll... .......2007-06-14
This is an look at the lives, joys, and struggles of the Wives and Girlfriends of many classic Rock Stars.
The women interviewed opened up and spoke quite candidly about themselves and their famous lovers.
I found the Patricia Kennealy Chapter to be paticularly interesting.
"I'd flatten him"--Patricia Kennealy on Jim Morrison.......2005-04-26
This will be an interesting book for anyone who's a Doors fan, who has also read "Strange Days" by Patricia Kennealy. Patricia K. doesn't refer to this book by name in "Strange Days", nor does she refer to Victoria Balfour by name. Patricia K. merely alludes to this book, and its author, making clear she wasn't happy with it.
Here is what Patricia Kennealy says about "Rock Wives" in her own book, "Strange Days", quote: "And so when I am asked for the second time to speak for publication concerning Jim and me, I am perhaps a little more easily persuaded than I might, or should, have been. This time it is a friend of my friend David Walley who is doing the asking, for a book she is writing on women who get involved with rock stars. Not perhaps the format I'd have chosen, but hey, I'm not writing the thing...I do not know her personally, but he speaks well of her; and indeed, when she comes to my apartment to interview me she is smart, sympathetic and friendly. But when her book at last appears, in 1985, I am devastated yet again. She seems to have had a hidden agenda all along: the bleak and stereotypical scenario that nice college-educated middle-class Catholic girls just have to pick bad boys to fall for, giving up all claim to any career or indeeed personhood of their own in the process".
End quote.
Despite Patricia K. not referring to the book title or author of said offending book in "Strange Days", I managed to track down the mysterious book. I can tell you, Patricia's claim that Victoria Balfour portrays her as someone who is "giving up all claim to any career", ect, is a total falsehood. Please read this book, and you will understand the actual reasons Patricia K. doesn't refer to this book or author by name in "Strange Days". I promise you, it has nothing to do with Patricia K. being offended over Balfour allegedly portraying her as a "good little Catholic" girl. I'm afraid poor Patricia is tossing out red herrings in her desperation.
Here's how Patricia K.'s quotes in 1986 ("Rock Wives") compare to what she says in 1991 ("Strange Days"):
1986, "Rock Wives"-- "Probably not very"....Patricia's quote, when asked how seriously she thought Jim Morrison took the Wiccan handfasting.
1991, "Strange Days"--Patricia K. claims Jim took the handfasting as seriously as she did.
----------------------------------------------------------------
1986, "Rock Wives"--"Never in a million years. This was no liberating relationship, and the worst part was, I never knew when I was going to see him again."---Patricia K., when asked if she would put up with Jim's behaviour today.
1991, "Strange Days"--Patricia K. insists her relationship with Jim was one of equality.
----------------------------------------------------------------
1986, "Rock Wives"--"I'd flatten him."---Patricia K., when asked what she'd do to Jim if he were alive today. Patricia K. also makes clear that her relationship with Jim was completely over by the time he left for Paris with Pamela Courson. She compares her relationship with Jim to two people building a bridge from each side, but never meeting in the middle.
1991, "Strange Days"---Patricia K. insists that Jim had intentions to dump Pamela Courson in Paris, and run back to Patricia K. in NY.
----------------------------------------------------------------
1986, "Rock Wives": Patricia K. tells Victoria Balfour her affair with Jim Morrison didn't start until AFTER Jim, Pam, Patricia, and a few other friends all dined in a restaurant together. Patricia says the affair happened after this dinner, and she didn't have a clue it would happen until after this dinner. "There's no way I would have started with him before that, because I have scruples."
1991, "Strange Days": Patricia K. claims her affair with Jim started six months BEFORE Jim, Pam, Patricia, and a few friends all dined together in a restaurant.
----------------------------------------------------------------
I'm giving the book 5 stars mainly on the Patricia Kennealy chapter. The chapter is informative and honest. It's also important to note that Patricia K. has never accused Victoria Balfour of misquoting her. I was mainly interested in this book as a Doors fan (and as a former Patricia Kennealy fan). I did find the chapter's on Bebe Buell (ex of Todd Rundgren, Rod Stewart, and others) and Jo Wood ( wife of Ron Wood, Rolling Stones)to be enjoyable.

From a Friends perspective.......2006-10-16
I read the hardcover edition. Which is a very nice format. This book is a very fast read; I read it in one evening. It is filled with sketches done by Thomas Merton and many photos of him I had not seen before. Both in secular life and after he entered the monastery.
Edward Rice who was a long time friend of Thomas Merton writes this book. Edward Rice is a well-known photographer and writer who met Thomas Merton at Columbia and whose friendship with him continued until Merton's death. He knew the man well and shares his perspective on his life in this well written biography.
In this biography we learn about how Merton lived, played, studied and worked. It is written as a series of personal recollections, which tries to let us share his experiences. We see how he developed his opinions and ideas. And over time we see how his perspective on the world changed. I was surprised to learn just how prolific a writer Merton was, and it pains me to think of how much of his work was lost. One thing we do see is that he had one over riding interest, and that was in Peace. He even started to delve into the Eastern Philosophies in trying to perfect himself. Who knows what he would have written if he would have been able to carry on.
A Great Look At A Great Man.......2000-06-06
A very interesting look at the late Thomas Merton by Edward Rice, one of his close friends. The book is fairly small and easy to read and contaons a wealth of information by and about Merton which other sources leave out. Included are some of his drawings (rather "naughty" ones, too!), the way his opinions changed from the time when he first entered the Catholic church to the time of his death. Merton's views were continually changing and Rice is the only person who actually has come out and said in print what was quite plain to most of his readers: that at the time of his death, he was far more a Buddhist than a Christian. Many photos are included, as well as several of Merton's hermitage out in the woods of Kentucky, and several of Merton and his friends in his beer-swilling fraternity days along with his boasts of early sexual conquests). A great deal of commentary is given on the contemplative life (particularly useful to those considering becoming hermits) and on the role of peace as the full flowering of the mystical life. At the tome of his death, Merton was going to ask permission from his Abbey at Gethsemene to stay in Asia, as he considered the monks there to have a far superior insight into one's relationship with god and deep meditation than the ones in the West did, and with whom he seemed to be running into nearly continual conflicts with. great for anyone interested in Buddhism, Zen, Merton, or mysticism.
"Sycamore" Worth Hunting For.......2000-01-29
I recently hunted down a copy of this book. It was worth the trouble.
Written by a close friend of Merton's shortly after his untimely death in 1968, it is one of the few books "about" Merton which please me nearly as much as Merton's own work. Fluid, perceptive, it brings to life Merton's time and the struggles he and his world were confronting.
More importantly, however, it presents in a living form the concerns and hazards of the contemplative life - useful information for serious explorers who may be following a similar path.
Finally, "Sycamore" is illustrated with dozens of photographs, and also reproductions of Merton's own drawings. The author, Edward Rice, commendably keeps himself out of sight, but his own clear writing is a pleasure to read.
