From 1969 to 1974 Ehrhart was just Passing Time. His reentry into the "world" began with his enrollment as a 21-year-old freshman (and token Vietnam vet) at Swarthmore College. At first simply trying to bury his past, Ehrhart slowly if inexorably came to understand what happened to him, and why, in Vietnam. Interspersed are flash-backs to the war itself. It is the story of political--and personal--awakening. As the war dragged on, the United States' deceitful involvement and its perpetuation of fallacies and lies about the war's conduct forced Ehrhart to confront his own feelings about his government, country, and self. Throughout, the reader shares with Ehrhart his odyssey through naivete, growing awareness, angry withdrawal and, finally, a measure of peace.

"This is an extraordinary book." —Progress in Human Geography "... fresh and fascinating." —Come-All-Ye "... an extraordinarily rich and rewarding book.... it is about the effort of one man to find for himself and us the life's breath of the people of Ballymenone.... It is certainly a remarkable tour de force." —Emmet Larkin, New York Times Book Review The life and art, the folklore, history, and common work of a rural community in Northern Ireland—through the eyes and pen of gifted folklorist Henry Glassie. It is a classic in the fullest sense, reaching beyond folklore to all of humanity.

The book itself contains fifty of my many poems. They range from nature themes to love, death, heaven, hell, and everything in between. Many people might disagree with some of my work, but everyone has their own opinions on everything. Thats what makes the world the place it is today. Full of different views and ways of life, we all like to find what best suits ourselves. I have found what lifestyle best suits me. I hope you find your own also. I hope you enjoy reading only half as much as I did writing this book. Kind regards, Kevin McClements

This book is an accumulation of rimes and stories Mrs. Kincheloe has written, starting on the homestead in New Mexico in the '30's. They go on to a time when she wrote stores to entertain her grandchildren. Rimes like "The Tour of Jerusalem" came into being because of her faith in God and the reading and studying the bible. Various experiences that she has seen during her long life accounts for all the other poems and short stories. Her wry sense of humor is reflected throughout her writing.
