Welcome!
"In a manner of speaking, this site is the culmination of
fifty-one years of work, during which time I've composed at least one
new poem, on average, every other day (although I've long since given
up my Smith-Corona manual typewriter).
By exploring my on-line library,
you'll be able to measure the height and breadth and depth of my life.
If you're willing to journey far enough, you might end up knowing me
better than I know myself and, in the process, knowing yourself better
than before." (2008)
When I read your poems, I give thanks for three things (in increasing order), every time:
That you rescue good words from unjust desuetude
That you state common thoughts in uncommon ways, so that they are
common
no more
That you express uncommon thoughts that connect with deep, but too-
little-examined experiences
