Slowspoke
Author: Mark Schimmoeller
Publisher: Chelsea Green Publishing
ISBN: 1603585907
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
Why a unicycle? Why a cross-country trip? Why leave a prominent New York magazine and return to the simple life in Kentucky? Reminiscent of classic literary travelogues, Mark Schimmoeller's Slowspoke: A Unicyclist's Guide to America takes readers on an inward, emotional journey as he inches across landscapes and communities from North Carolina to Arizona. Schimmoeller became inspired by his unicycle as an adolescent. It taught him that rushing--whether down the driveway or toward adulthood--would cause a fall, and so, instead of accepting the speeding, straight line that de-fines modern American life, he adopted his single wheel's wayward rhythms. Written with poise and humor, Slowspoke is more than a cross-country trip on a unicyc≤ it's a meditation on a playful, recalcitrant slowness that is increasingly rare in a culture obsessed with acceleration. At times ach-ing and other times joyful, Schimmoeller intersperses recollections of his journey with vignettes of his present-day, off-the-grid homesteading with his wife in Kentucky and their efforts to save an old-growth forest. Schimmoeller's personal journey will resonate with anyone who has slowed down to experience life at a unicycle's speed or who longs to do so, who has fallen in love or searched for it, or who has treasured tall trees or mourned their loss.

Pages : 183
Book Description
It's ironic that one of my first memories as a child is of me sitting on a love-seat, coloring an outline of a treasure chest overflowing of jewels and gold coins in the midst of a heated argument between my mother and a relatively new step-father. I watched as my mother hurled pots and pans toward him. He in return, continued yelling at the top of his lungs with his index finger and little finger directed towards her with the look on his face that implied his desire to have bullets streaming from his fingers. Denny soon said he was leaving. Once she realized he was in the car, she ran out the door for him in her long night gown and was begging him to return. The next morning, I sat in the garage looking down the driveway waiting for his return with a feeling in my gut that has returned far too many times throughout my life. That was in small mid-western town. and there were many small towns in countless states.
