Edge Poetry: On the Road of Life

By Edward Maher

My reasoning is that Edge Poetry heavily favors the ever-important human element in an automated world. It functions on the dualistic extremes in our lives but is still having the guts enough to keep compassion and the loving spirit in all of us alive and well. Edge Poetry compares to no other, completely authentic with an up-tempo pace for the fast-paced world that we all live in. Volume 2 is a good read and another step forward into the vast poetic world with many volumes to come.

I first published in 2005–2008 with Sterling House Publisher and published with Xlibris in 2009 until the present. I graduated from Camden High School, Camden, New York. I served in the military army field artillery in 1991–1993 and worked as a laborer for twenty years up until being with my first publisher. My hobbies include taking walks, camping, playing music, and writing manuscripts. I am a true seeker of life, always striving toward success in my craft. I enjoy talking with people. I have a deep respect and love for women. Hoping to complete all my achievements before all my time concludes, I am a lover of life and the love I chose. Special thanks to my mom, who has been a major supporter of my quest to succeed. A deep respect for my dad, whom I love dearly, and thanks to Cousin Sue; don’t know what I would have done without you. Thank you to my cousin Ronnie and all my friends who gave Edge Poetry a chance.

Each journey is brand-new to me with the passing of each day, and it is within the miles I am truly

Earning, giving validity to my life story. I will always feel it is a miracle I wake each morning and is

Comforting to know I am still plugged in to the power and the glory, so believe me when I say this

Old vessel has seen a lot of miles and has held much in the way of storage.

My body bears the scars
