Longfellow Bridge — Billam Northgate

Longfellow Bridge, the author's first work; is a lavish narrative that covers the four decades in the life of a family whose daily struggle for dignity and existence is sometimes poignant and reminiscent of the Job family in the Grapes of Wrath, but at the same time it is an edgy and sometimes hilarious look into the life of a young boy coming of age in the South of the 1960's, as well as during the turbulent and gritty urban climate of the Northeast between the 1970's and 80's. -Poets and Rogues Magazine
