Produktbeschreibung
My first publication by Biographical Publishing Company, a young adult novel entitled The Cuban Connection was written straight ahead with no detours along the way. When I started to put together this book of poetry, I presumed such would be the case again. Then, sixty percent of the way through this book, Old Well Salted Wounds, I suddenly decided to change my writing style. Ouch, what next? However, I soon found that turning back the pages of time to the centuries' long masses of traditional poetry, I began to think I found a home. What could possibly go wrong with having Emily Dickinson for a neighbor? My previous attempts at writing poetry often led to me intellectualizing a subject, quite often beyond my ability to truly do justice to the poem. My new style, when I use it, often leaves me with a good feeling inside. In this book I often wished my endings were happier but happiness is in short supply in today's world. Hence the title that I find apropos for this work. I cannot write poetry by creating it out of thin air. Therefore, with me, I have a need of inspiration. There is always someone or something that leads to my creative urges taking a hold of me. I do hope you take some enjoyment from my work and will continue to turn the pages.

Autorenporträt
It wasn't until I was approaching retirement age that I took a more serious interest in writing. I had done many things in the meantime. Thanks to a jingoistic and abusive father who was a member of the Canadian Air Force police during World War II, I was forced to enlist in the Reserve Army even before I had graduated from high school. I had to enlist or else my father would have made living at home intolerable. I was placed in the medical corps which was a softer touch than most other corps. I was also forced to become a junior Rotarian by my high school's vice-principal which meant I lost a half a day of school every week. Despite that, I graduated with distinction. The Rotary meetings, however, were very enjoyable and lunch was always a meal much better than I was used to eating at home. There was always a guest speaker and the speeches were usually enjoyable and informative. All of this was stored away by me and it comes out at times in my writing. I can only hope you don't have any serious complaints with my literature. I know my audience and I write to keep them satisfied with my non-complicated plots and my characters are far from complex as well.
