I started writing poetry in earnest over thirty years ago, and wanted to portray my life and interests to others in my work. I love poetry; history and wanted to also tell several stories--my wife of 30 years who died slowly over a period of 25 years of various ailments; my internal life,fraught with rejection and the inescapable feeling of being somehow outside the sphere of human life--always looking in at the happiness of others and never being allowed to share that happiness. My poetry is my statement of these things.view less
