Oliver Wendell Holmes said, "One of the greatest pleasures of childhood is found in the mysteries which it hides from the skepticism of the elders, and works up into small mythologies of its own."
 
When Main Street Is One Block Long is a collection of sixty free verse poems (childhood myths) generated by Gene's experiences growing up in a small Mississippi River village.  They are all, in varying degrees, true -- some more true than others.
