"After Midnight: Poems and Pontifications" presents a collection of
poetry written over a span of sixty years. Manfredo's early
writings reflect the idealism, spirituality, and wonderment of
youth, questioning the meaning of life and describing dreams and
aspirations. The collection then traces the evolution of his style
into a sophisticated and passionate maturity. During the last score
of years, his poetry demonstrates an acceptance of the realities of
life, sometimes expressing a sense of both resignation and whimsy.
As a life presented in poetry, "After Midnight" offers a journey of
emotional growth, which finally and inevitably arrives at an
awareness and graceful acceptance of mortality. "Gettin' Old I look
in the mirror and say a prayer Of thanks to the Gods that my face
is still there. My locks are much thinner My face is less fair.
Glad I've lived long enough to lose my hair. Dying young, while
good-lookin', Ain't a bargain to me. Livin' long, causin' trouble,
That's where I want to be. So I'll linger a while longer Kinda'
messin' with you. When I finally depart You'll be glad ... I will
too "
