Books
Eclectic Harvest
This book is a compilation of years of struggle not just in life but in learning how to hone my craft, such as it is, and create something that I’m assuming others would want to read.
Second Harvest
As in the first book, Eclectic Harvest, this is a stew of different styles of poetry; metric and free, and whatever other…uh style came to mind. Also, there are limericks and haiku; Japanese poetry.
Fourth Harvest
This book is a compilation of years of struggle without proper supervision. I did use the computer and the library, and one poetry class in college, for help. There was information that was above my head and some Poetry Introduction for Dummies. Some of my earliest poems won’t appear in my work. Some were rewritten and some didn’t survive the many moves over the years. Also, over the years the political chaos has colored what I write. The entrance of my wife, and her sudden, tragic, death changed me and how I write forever. I also cannot ignore, or mitigate, the influence our four-pawed roommates had on my writing.

When I was honorably discharged from the Navy, I found myself in the situation where none of the people I came home to had any idea of what I went through. There was a pressure in my head and my heart that I did not know how to release until I wrote my first poem. I hold feelings in, and I don’t know how to articulate what’s to going on. But that first poem opened a door, and I gladly stepped in.
Some of my earliest poems are not in this book because they failed the test of time and several moves and bad choices in storage. Some were rewritten to a certain point or they just diverged as my skills grew. Some are dedicated to my wife, Kerri, and the meeting, greeting, wooing, sharing and the painful exit where I was forced to say goodbye.
