In his second book, Reportings, Tom Gannon has reached deep into his store of memories and historical knowledge to report on his youth, his early days as a sports fan, his life as Jesuit priest, his return to non-clerical life, his love of the natural world, his anti-war passion, his marriage and his blessed entry into grandfather-hood. These are vivid, highly readable poems introducing you to a truly Renaissance man.
PRAISE FOR TOM GANNON'S FIRST BOOK
Life's mutable moments sparkle in this autobiographical journey of poems [Food for a Journey]. The former priest, teacher, lawyer and associate editor of America magazine, who turned to painting and poetry after his retirement from a long-standing law career, here captures images of life's many scenes: the Italian grandmothers of his South Philly neighbors timidly retreating to the kitchen, the dying football coach receiving Communion and the immigrants hunting scrap metal in the trash of suburbia. Notre Dame Magazine, Autumn 2016
