Another Child of the Century

by Joe Ershun

Since settling in San Miguel de Allende with his wife, Florence, more than twenty years ago, Joe Ershun has become well known locally for his activism and commitment to social justice, and for his involvement in the social and cultural life of San Miguel. He’s also well known locally as a poet. Another Child of the Century brings together a wide assortment of Joe’s poems—on world events, love, spiritual life, philosophy, and the human condition—with a selection of his essays and reflections on many topics: his introduction to political activism in the 1930s, his experiences as a medic in Italy during World War II, trying his hand at chicken farming in New Jersey in the early 1950s, the pleasures and frustrations of early retirement, and his appreciations of San Miguel—both the beauty of the city and its setting, and the community he and Florence found there.
