Head Lines: Poems and Passages is a collection of poems that were written to be read aloud, either alone, or with one another, or in a group. They chronicle the life and experiences of author John Yurechko. They are written in a style and format that lends itself to reading aloud, with line breaks, BIG VOICES in ALL CAPITALS, and whispers in italics, pauses, rushes, vocalizations, etc. These visual guides are as much a part of the writing as the words themselves.
Head Lines is a collection of the author's writings spanning fifty years. He reflects on topics ranging from his childhood in a steel town, to life in California, Virginia and North Carolina, and to everyday events that he describes in these poems and passages.
