The Harbor Jon Obermeyer

In this follow-up to "It Happens That Fast" and "Briarcliff, North Carolina poet and author Jon Obermeyer explores a period in his mid to late 30's when he and his wife raised two daughters in the suburbs north of Greensboro. The author scales back on creative pursuits and focuses on his career in the Clinton era, as economic shifts dominate the landscape. The Harbor is a story of the American middle class (and a marriage) starting to show the cracks that are susceptible to events like 9/11 and 2008, but ultimately usher in a restoration of identity and authenticity.
