Anaconda And Me

About the Book

Anaconda and Me is a collection of poems, short stories and photographs that emphasizes the author’s connection to Anaconda, Montana and the surrounding area, and how it has guided his life for the past 78 years. It includes his community environment, family, friends, and heroes. It is the author’s wish that the book be used as a model for others to evaluate their lives in a literary fashion as opposed to a historical narrative.
