This book contains Finkel's poetic output over the last twelve years and shows his experimental approach to traditional and modern poetic forms. The subjects are wide ranging, some quite serious, and some qualify as light verse - but all reflect his personal thoughts. What comes through is the philosophical perspective on his life and times, sometimes with great intensity and often with humor. The reader will find the diversity of forms, style, and subject matter of great interest. Born in Newark, N.J., Gerry Finkel was educated in the public school system and attended Dartmouth College and Harvard Medical School where he received his M.D. degree in 1959. A career in Pathology occupied the next forty years. Although he has always maintained a keen interest in all the arts, he first started writing poetry after his retirement in 1999.
Author Gerry Christmas is one of "Kennedy's Children," an idealist who answered the call to join the Peace Corps not once but twice. In Breathing the Same Air, a gritty memoir of love and loss, he narrates his volunteer experiences in both Thailand and Samoa. From the sultry alleys of Bangkok to the serpentine paths of his Polynesian island, Christmas explores new frontiers of mind, body, and spirit. He shares stories from cross-cultural miscues and screw-ups to Peace Corps politics and squabbles. He also ventures into the classroom where he talks about his Thai and Samoan students who effuse a certain candor, curiosity, and charm. And he narrates pursuing Aied, his long-lost love, and the difficult decision to return to the United States. As Christmas looks back on his Peace Corps days, he is mindful of President Kennedy's words: "... we all inhabit this small planet. We all cherish our children's futures. We all breathe the same air. And we are all mortal."
