Gloria Steinem Blurbed Me (And Other Miracles)

Follow journalist, poet, rock guitarist, Boston Celtic (for five days), and women's rights/LGBTQ+ activist Andrew Merton's moving, often tongue-in-cheek journey from the McCarthy era of the early 50's on through Vietnam and the Millennium to the current, unsettled American scene. Gloria Steinem Blurbed Me (And Other Miracles) is a provocative page-turner in prose and poetry by journalist, essayist, and poet Andrew Merton. With warmth, wit, and disarming honesty, Merton traces his journey from a Jewish childhood in Greenwich Village through the cultural upheavals of the late twentieth century, chronicling a life shaped by journalism, literature, feminism, music, politics, and unexpected encounters with some of America's most influential voices.Blending personal essays with poetry, Merton reflects on ambition, love, loss, activism, aging, and the small miracles that define a creative life. Along the way, readers witness pivotal moments in American cultural history-from the rise of the feminist movement to the evolution of literary journalism-while following one writer's search for purpose, belonging, and grace.
