"Allen's Poetry Book 1, The Early Years" is the first of three
books collectively containing nearly 400 of Allen's poems as
testament to his 67-year-long love of such composing. His poetry
encompasses: observations, occasions, tall and not-so-tall tales
and stories, politics, family, religion, philosophy, God, science,
love, marriage, loss, death and most of all, people. Although Allen
writes in different voices and cadences, his poetry is mostly
matter-of-fact using every-day language. However, he loves rhythm
and rhyme and the use of alliteration especially in his
tongue-in-cheek poetry, and his tall tales. Book I covers the
period from 1946 (when Allen wrote his first published poem at age
13) through 1963 when Allen left the Air Force. This period
includes college at the University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ,
marriage, graduate school at Case Institute in Cleveland, OH,
children, and the Air Force at Wright Patterson AFB, Dayton, OH and
the Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs, CO.
