"From all-American boy, to juvenile mischief-making delinquent, to blue-collar guy, to fledgling broadcaster, to radio talk show gadfly and 'Radio Romeo,' [this book] takes you down the long and winding Yellow Brick Road of Dan Cole's life and times. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you might even become physically ill reading the tall tales sown within these pages by self-proclaimed 'Radio Gardener.' You'll ride in the passenger seat as the Skip Barber Racing School graduate takes you through the twists and turns and hairpin curves of his childhood days, preteen athletic accomplishments, the Haight Ashbury days, and his town-to-town travels up and down the radio dial. The thrills and chills, the highs and lows the ebbs and flows of Common's nearly sixty years on earth and documented in this lighthearted look at the world through his eyes"--Page 4 of cover.

The Common Man, Maurice Manning’s fourth collection, is a series of ballad-like narratives, set down in loose, unrhymed iambic tetrameter, that honors the strange beauty of the Kentucky mountain country he knew as a child, as well as the idiosyncratic adventures and personalities of the oldtimers who were his neighbors, friends, and family. Playing off the book’s title, Manning demonstrates that no one is common or simple. Instead, he creates a detailed, complex, and poignant portrait—by turns serious and hilarious, philosophical and speculative, but ultimately tragic—of a fast-disappearing aspect of American culture. The Common Man’s accessibility and its enthusiastic and sincere charms make it the perfect antidote to the glib ironies that characterize much contemporary American verse. It will also help to strengthen Manning’s reputation as one of his generation’s most important and original voices.
