It's About Time

It's About Time (Millions of Copies Sold for Dad) is a saga wrapped around a package of poems guarded by Angels. With a narrative style that reads like a novel contains a collection of poetry and shares an autobiography Mark Connor guides us through a journey of love family and life that is ours as much as his own peeking at the point of merger of difference and unity. Following him from memory to memory we feel the eyes upon us defeat the empire of fear embrace the kingdom of love and find ten minutes a day to be grateful. All the while we celebrate the city of Saint Paul (with a friendly nod to Minneapolis) experience Irish influence in neighborhood life rooted in Catholic cohesion embraced by indigenous America in the medicine wheel. We box the perfect metaphor with future world champions love beauty in a moment of ambivalence work on a fishing boat in Southeast Alaska comfort a child in an American Indian shelter for kids and guard American Indian buildings with guns in riots. Through it all we honor Dad mourning his death and remembering his love sharing a story written for America valuing fatherhood defending family encouraging marriage and providing hope.
