Description

Bold and ambitious book to speak in the voice of Abraham Lincoln As a poet Manning is passionate about using language as a way to articulate and assign meaning to experiences Manning frequently finds himself writing lines in his sleep. Manning grew up near Lincoln’s birthplace and lived in the same county Lincoln’s parents were married. Manning’s great grandfather liked to boast that he had voted for Lincoln, twice. Just like Abraham Lincoln’s first job was carpentry and cutting wood for fence rails, Manning started out as a carpenter as well.
