Zustand: New. &Uumlber den AutorJean-Thomas Cullen was twenty-seven when he wrote this novel, stationed in West Germany in the 1970s. His career as a poet (published at 18) flared out, and he compiled the collection of his favorites also contained in.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Cymbalist Poems is a collection of the author's favorite 64 poems from among hundreds he wrote during a youthful career of great passion, technical skill, and esthetic taste. He was a published poet by 18, began summarizing his life's poetry in his mid-20s while living, working, and traveling in Europe (1975-1980), and reached his '27' in 1976. That is the age when rock stars famously flame out. It is no different with lyrical poets (e.g., Arthur Rimbaud, Rainer Maria Rilke, and many others). In a remarkable twist, the author also wrote a passionate, exciting novel around age 27--his first adult novel, set in a New England college town (shades of John Updike!)--dealing with the fiery love affair between a struggling but courageous young poet and a beautiful young married woman. She is a faculty wife, married to a man who is never there for her but is always absent without emotional leave. As the novel transpires, her husband is on an archeological dig far off in Australia, where he is also digging the chicks. In fact, in their back and forth marriage, he calls to tell her he is leaving her for another woman, before he calls to tell her he isn't. While the novel was written in 1976, retrospective to an already lost world of 1973, the manuscript was all but forgotten for 40 years and resurrected in 2016. Remarkably, the story remains as fresh today as it was then. This is a youthful novel by a 27 year old author, writing a not only about the agonies and ecstasies of his own ambitions as a poet, but also a kind of loving and symphonic tribute to the city (New Haven) where he grew up which is forever gone from his life, but also a glowing and sensual retrospective on a swirling mosaic of fictional and perhaps remembered love stories from his own amorous life with attractive and brilliant young college women. The amazing coup that follows is this. The novel, and the author's final book of poetry, traveled on separate paths for forty years. With the publication of the novel, it was not until galleys that it occurred to the author that he must absolutely include some of his own poems from long ago--to validate the struggles of the novel's hero, a fictional character named Jon Harney, who wishes to stay modestly anonymous, and therefore writes in the pseudonymous persona of a fictional Russian emigre named Charles Egeny. Shades of Vladimir Nabokov, Jon tells Merile as they lie in bed together one night. Thus, after separate journeys of 40 years, the two books (novel and poems) have clicked together, and a whole brilliant new set of lights have sprung to life--a perfect union, like that of Jon and Merile (except. well, please read the novel to find out what happens). And enjoy the poetry. The two books are a matched set that found each other, like two long-lost lovers, and begging for you to enjoy them. On a separate note, the poetry collection spans primarily twelve years and is organized to describe a trajectory in life. In real life, the poet spent his childhood in Europe but grew up in Connecticut, which he passionately documented through his college years at the University of Connecticut and his early adulthood in New Haven. He writes the final poems as a soldier stationed in Europe, where he enjoys travel to Paris, Brussels, and other great places--but always returns to the barracks to type all night while listening to Mozart and enjoying fine beers and wines. In the end, the trajectory brings him to San Diego and the women he married, with whom he finally found the love he sought, and has enjoyed for over thirty years to this day.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Written by a young soldier in 1976 Cold War West Germany and forgotten for forty years, it glows as fresh today as it was when I composed it in Paris and Heidelberg and other European cities where I traveled in my old orange VW as a single, adventuresome young man. Like many soldiers far from home, I was having the time of my life but idn't know it. I was homesick, and spent many evenings going back to our headquarters in an old Hitler-era kaserne or barracks to lose myself in writing poetry and fiction. This novel was a nostalgic, melancholy, but passionate retrospection to the New England college town where I grew up. It's fiction - but who knows what tendrils of truth, remembrance, and long ago loves sprang up in the soil of imagination. This romantic coming of age novel tells of the passionate love affair etween a 23-year-old idealistic, talented poet and a beautiful, neglected young married woman in a New England college town set in 1973. The story has waited forty years, and is taking a little time to blossom, like a fine wine uncorked after decades. The companion volume of poetry is Cymbalist Poems, and the two novels have been reunited (twins separated at birth) in the book titled 27duet.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This romantic coming of age novel - bold and sensual, honest and raw - tells of the passionate love affair between a 23-year-old idealistic, talented poet and a beautiful, neglected young married woman in a New England college town set in 1973. Written by a young soldier in 1976 Cold War West Germany and forgotten for forty years, it glows as fresh today as it was when I composed it in Paris and Heidelberg and other European cities where I traveled in my old orange VW as a single, adventuresome young man. Like many soldiers far from home, I was having the time of my life but didn't know it. I was homesick, and spent many evenings going back to our headquarters in an old Hitler-era Kaserne or barracks to lose myself in writing poetry and fiction. This novel was a nostalgic, melancholy, but passionate retrospection to the New England college town where I grew up. It's fiction - but who knows what tendrils of truth, remembrance, and long ago loves sprang up in the soil of imagination. The story has waited forty years, gathering dust, and is finally in print along with its companion volume. It is bursting into blossom, a fine wine uncorked after decades. The companion volume of poetry is Cymbalist Poems, and the two books have been reunited (twins separated at birth) in the book titled 27duet. The poems compiled by 1976 represent the natural ending of my lyrical phase. I was a professional author and summer interne newspaper reporter at 17, and a published poet by 18. This is New Adult (20s) long before today's marketing category--fresh, artful, and emotionally honest.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Reading is believing: The star of this duet is the author's '27' coming of age novel, written nights among moths and ghosts in an old Hitler-era army barracks to strains of Mozart. He was a young U.S. Army soldier, stationed in 1970s West Germany during the Cold War. Captured together after forty years gathering dust - twins separated at birth and reunited nearly a half century later - these two books will amaze you with their magic, beauty, melancholy, and passion. The author wrote poetry with talent and discipline through his teens and twenties, a published poet at 18 who flared out at 27 and left the select poetry of a finished career eclipsed in obscurity. He became a professional writer at 17 as a summer interne newspaper reporter in New Haven, and a starving novelist in his early 20s before hitching and driving across the USA (among many adventures) and settling in San Diego, from where he enlisted in the U.S. Army. Stationed in West Germany, he owned an orange VW van and traveled extensively with many adventures. At the same time, like all G.I.s, he was lonely and missed \*the World\* as troops far from home call the USA. He would return to the barracks alone at night - when all was still, under the lantern of Lili Marlene - and play Mozart while reimagining lives and loves of a past half memory and half myth. The poems and the novel he wrote among moths and ghosts are still fresh and readable today - presented here, for the first time, in a single volume together. The novel On Saint Ronan Street is a nostalgic retrospective on his lost past in New Haven - wellspring of his poetic art; and its women, his first loves. Titled cryptically Jon+Merile in manuscript, and left to gather dust for 40 years, it is the story of a 23 year old poet's wild love affair with the beautiful, neglected young professor's wife in a New England college town. The poems: The second book in this volume (Cymbalist Poems) contains the author's collected favorite poems from among hundreds written in over a decade, before his lyric flare-out at 27. He was a published poet and professional journalist at 18; a serious writer through his teens and twenties. Like the mythological '27' when rock stars crash and burn, other creative souls undergo a life change in their late twenties as well. In this author's life, he turned his passion and talent to writing prose. In these two books, the poetry resonates in the narrative, while each poem offers an intriguing glimpse of myth and story. In the novel, talented, passionate, and handsome 23 year old poet Jon Harney graduated from a small college, and is now mowing lawns and doing other odd jobs around Yale University while showing his verse portfolio to New York City publishers. He meets a lonely young woman, Merile Doherty (pronounced like 'Merrill' for reasons revealed). She beautiful, intriguing, and fun. Merile's husband Bill is an archeologist at Yale University. Bill is older and colder, vacant at affection, always gone, never quite there for her. He is Absent Without Emotional Leave (AWEL). When Merile and Jon meet, she's been alone again for too long. Bill is far off in Australia digging for bones - and also digging chicks in Sydney. He phones to tell her he has fallen in love with an Australian woman, and is going to leave Merile. That's before he calls to tell her he isn't. That's how it goes. Merile is vulnerable and Jon Harney is smitten. Their chemistry is incendiary. Like hungry young wolves, they can't get enough of each other. Their mad, passionate love affair is as glorious as it is doomed. In this 27duet, the author's twin books - separated at birth - are finally united after forty years gathering dust. The light that shines half as long shines twice as bright, to paraphrase Roy in Blade Runner. The author's light continues to shine, in another century and another life (see the Amazon author pages for Jean-Thomas Cullen, John T. Cullen, and John Argo).
