Growing Up Afraid: Poems of the Atomic Age 1953-1963 What was it like in the decade after Hiroshima, for an impressionable student in the United States? One young man, who graduated from high school in 1955, captured those youthful fears eloquently in a series of poems collected now in a 50-page volume. John C. Stickler, a student at The Putney School and then Yale University, has captured the anxiety, the anomie of that era as only a pure, young intellect could. Looking back today it is surprising how dark a shadow was cast across American society by the mushroom cloud that ended World War II. These insightful and moving poems offer a unique historical perspective into an entire postwar generation. Eleven of the 43 poems were previously published, in The Yale Literary Magazine, the Yale Daily News, The Putney Magazine, Nugget Magazine and elsewhere. The styles range from formal sonnets to haiku to risqué ballads. The volume provides a poetic glimpse of one young man's moral beliefs evolving and maturing into a cynical, yet humanistic ethic. Chronologically, the final poem is "Assassination," composed in November, 1963. It is an outcry of moral frustration at the death of president John F. Kennedy.
