Portraits of Famous People (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781503522718)

Scholar and poet extraordinaire Donald J. Young offers concise and insightful portraits of over seventy remarkable human beings from antiquity to the present in Portraits of Famous People. Still writing and publishing into his nineties, Donald J. Young continues to be a marvel of creativity. A Harvard graduate, Young has penned novels (The Reunion, The Battle for Snow Mountain), novellas (The Ascending Star and Other Stories, A Minor Engagement and Other Stories) and poetry collections (The Collected Poems, The Shore of the Unknown, Illumination, Sonnets on Shakespeare, and Selected Poems), among others. He also served as a soldier and POW in World War II, which illuminates much of his writing, and taught creative writing in Massachusetts, California, and in London.
