Welcome to Harry Willson's head, circa 1986. He had a lot on his mind. Philosopher, teacher, ex-clergyman, anti-nuke activist, burgeoning geek, grandpa, gardener, worm farmer, beekeeper, and freelance writer. He described his outlook as, Planetary, unitary, peacemaking, anti-racist and anti-sexist, sensing the importance of the inner, curious, sensual, mythic. His short story collection features luminarias, hot air balloons, atomic bombs, bats, hunting, DWI, cops, schools, litter, mufflers, stray dogs and stray people. The fumbling old alchemist who attempts to use his occult powers to bring about his goal of peace and quiet, with results that are comical and less than satisfactory, will give pause to those of us who feel called upon to change the world. Mr. Willson felt that call strongly, he put his body on the line more than once. But in the end, his most effective weapon - always wielded with love for fallible humanity - was his pen.
