It's one thing to live long. It's another to live well.

Glen Harris did both.

Born in 1899, author Glen Harris experienced both three centuries and two continents-and was seldom without a paper and pen throughout his 107 years.

Now his daughter is honoring Harris with a collection of his most loved stories, sonnets, and limericks. One of his best stories, The Black Flower, gives this collection its title.

But stories aren't all you'll find. Harris' poetry, limericks, and one-liners are also here in abundance. And in each entry you'll catch a glimmer of a master observer at work-documenting life experiences and how they shaped the author's life. You'll come to know Harris in a way that few of his contemporaries knew him as his daughter shares both his published and unpublished poetry and prose.
