The price you pay for American individualism
Irish immigrant Tim Finnegan has aspirations of being a writer but struggles to earn a living and provide for his baby son. Spurred on by family pressure and his own loss of dignity, he discovers the price he’s willing to pay to get ahead. A story in verse by a master weaver of tales about the dark underside of the American Dream.
