My wife and I are not native to this blandly attractive, relentlessly sunny area. We grew up in the Pacific Northwest, which features spectacular scenery, but also quite gloomy weather. I have brought that gloom with me, and it often shows up in my poems. Though I graduated from college, my degrees are in economics, not English or literature. I currently work part-time hauling freight in the back of a department store. My background, my distance from the “lit-crit” department/workshop hothouse, and my real-world job probably help to give my poems their unusual matter-of-factness. So, too, does my intense admiration for Elizabethan English poetry. I honestly believe that English language poetry, for the most part, steadily has declined since that era.Published at Smashwords:"Nine Tales Of Creation" (Anthology of Poetry from 9 Authors: Fabrizio Frosini, Daniel J.Brick, Dilantha Gunawardana, Lawrence Beck, Maia Padua, Mihaela Pirjol, Niken Kusuma Wardani, Simone Inez Harriman, S.zaynub Kamoonpuri).- "Scattering Dreams & Tales" (Anthology of Poetry - 13 Authors : Fabrizio Frosini, Daniel J.
