Poems, prn (Latin: pro re nata) is a compilation of recent poems by Larry Troxel. He separated them into two groupings; the first consisting of poems that are more about the lighter and serious sides of life, and the sweet feelings and inspiration that evolve there from. From those selections his associate James Atkinson, an accomplished musician and composer, has created and recorded beautiful songs on a CD Music and Poetry From the Heart, with poems such as My Soul, The Flowers Say, Touchings, and Waves. The second group is poems that paint, in the brightest colors, his religiosity, principals of faith, devotion and church. It is his hope that some may find what he has written to be interesting, agreeable, and maybe even inspiring, prn.

Larry Morrow is one of Cleveland's most popular celebrities. In this book he tells stories from a lifetime in radio--how he got into broadcasting, early days in Detroit, the exciting times at Cleveland's AM powerhouse WIXY 1260 in the 1960s and '70s, and his long on-air runs at WERE AM and WQAL FM. He tells about many interesting celebrities he interviewed and unusual promotions he was involved in. Morrow was named "Mr. Cleveland" by mayor George Voinovich for his decades of tireless effort promoting his adopted city, and he has been selected as master of ceremonies for most major Cleveland events in the past three decades, including Cleveland's bicentennial celebration. He is in great demand as a public speaker and a communications teacher.
Poetry is a packsack of invisible keepsakes,” Carl Sandberg once said. We are blessed with the gift of memory or a packsack of keepsakes or memories of things special, pleasurable, and inspirational along with a recall of things not so much so. In my packsack is an array of events, thoughts and things that hopefully appeals to the reader of this book. As is usually my way, I ask readers of my poems across the country to read and comment on them and here is what a few have said: "Wonderful, Larry! You are a great poet. Such vivid imagery! Love it!" "Your best words ever, Larry." "Just so beautiful. Now I’m crying." "So sweet. Made me cry." "Can’t read this without tears both of sorrow and thanks for those lives gone." "What a nice way to tell a story." "A history lesson and really good poem all rolled into one. With the news from the past couple of days, this is written at a good time. You’ve no idea how much I appreciate your sharing your poems with me. I always look forward to reading them.

I didn't want to write this book. I been searching the or gin of aids for years. I knew it was going to kill millions of people. To know something was going to happen and not do anything about it, you are as guilty as the people who committed the act. I spent twenty years in prison. Why should I risk my life to save the very people who kept me locked up all those years. The reason was; it was the right thing to do. I had written some letters informing government officials, but the FBI traced me down anyway. I went in a secret service office in LA. Not expecting to come back out. There were 2 secret service with rifles on the roof, and there we four others walking around with rifles. They don't send secret service with sniper rifles to arrest someone like me. They were going to kill me. If you enjoy action based book I guarantee your new favorite book will be this one.

Plan life's chapter with loving care, allow the reader a pleasant surprise. In poetic fashion, Larry has created new worlds and characters, recounted personal stories, captured histories of families, fantasies in humor, conveyed affections of life, and shared upthoughts of inspiration, memories, music and musings. Out on a limb, he tells of events and expresses views of a patriotic heart and politics, and shares empathetic poems about addiction recovery influenced by his work in an addiction recovery program. One literary critic said, "The time and care that has gone into this compilation of poetry is clear. I love the line in the opening 'As if taking a selfie, questions of this poem may help in deciding, if just a little, about what our story is, or can be' - I want to share that with the youth in my life in particular and see if they wouldn't be inspired to turn to this creative outlet of writing! The title piece, In the End We're All Stories, is a beautiful work to reflect on, to 'plan a final chapter with loving care, allow the reader a pleasant surprise' is a worthy goal and tool for recovery.'

So good and the flow so smooth, like syrup overwhelming a plate size pancake, just perfect." (RTM) As I write poems, I occasionally ask others to read a few for their honest and valued opinion and trust their sharing it such as the ones below. Over time I can describe the nature of my poetry is in two categories. The first are ones are ones I tend to be explicit in conveying what I want the reader to know and understand. The second are ones I write consists mostly of rhyming phrases without conclusions, allowing the reader to draw their own conclusions based on their own life experiences, imaginations, and speculations. Then, the crowning commentary, such as those quoted here who "proof" some of what I've written, who reflect upon the poem after reading it. That is the highest compliment. Every so often when I read a poem you have sent me, I think "oh, this is my all-time favorite" - and then another arrives that makes me think the same thing all over again. You have sent me quite a few "all time favorites"! Well - This one (Day's Eulogy) definitely is one of your all-time bests. Every word is perfect and the lines flow just beautifully into beautiful thoughts. It's a wonderful poem. Thank you so much for sharing it with me. I enjoyed reading it - and I'm enjoying the after-effects of reading it. (MMO)...I love this one...makes one think beyond oneself into the broad scheme of what a day truly brings. (MHM) And finally, a reviewer's critique: I must say that you have a talent for poetry writing, which is no small feat. An important aspect of poetry is attention to concrete detail. You certainly have a knack for this! You write with such beautiful, condensed language. It affects emotion and thought on multiple levels through your use of symbol and imagery.

Poetry is a packsack of invisible keepsakes," so said Carl Sandburg. Indeed, without our personal keepsakes of pleasure, inspiration and truth, the greatest and lowliest of novels and poems would remain unwritten. Once an ambivalent reader of poetry, I eventually discovered wonderful music by the artistry of a poet as he or she plucked my heartstrings. I found meaning in the unwritten words appearing between the lines of a poem and have rejoiced at that discovery. I hope you find some of the same keepsakes you cherish amongst this packsack of poetry and thought.
