Meet the Jennings family: three generations-grandfather, father, and son-all of them writers. Here are examples of their work in verse and prose spanning nearly a hundred years, from the early 1900s to the start of the 21st Century. Their differences and similarities, their interests and concerns, their hopes and dreams reveal much about the different Americas they were each born into and the different worlds they encountered, imagined, and described. This unique anthology traces the evolution of writing talent in one family across a century of change backgrounds-from the farmlands of Ohio, to the closing of the Western frontier, and from contemporary faith and science to speculative visions of alternative tomorrows and infinity itself.
