Produktbeschreibung

After four months of self quarantine, I find that I have already written enough for a normal one and a half to two year period. Since 'GOOD' poetry books are, by some definitions, slim, I had no choice but to start in on a new volume. It is a simple demand of the art to which we artists must bow. Also, I am curious as to how the rest of the year will go, productivity-wise, as some of my friends would say. I have noticed that the injunction I started with, Get off the Somber, has drifted a bit. It is also a chance to see if I can get back to upbeat adjustments. At least, part of the time. This volume is a combination of things. I intended to use my writing to try to keep an upbest attitude on the world. Sometimes it worked, other times my attitude sagged a bit. Mainly, it helped me see the world in a somewhat better light. It contains a variety of poetic forms because I find different types of poems fun and a challenge. Mainly, I hope that some will find them enjoyable, which, in my school of thought, isa good reason for reading poetry.

Autorenporträt

Frank P Gay was born in Denoya, Oklahoma in 1925 and spent his first six years there on the Osage Indian Reservation. This was followed considerable movement around the country before going into the Army in 1943. This resulted in visits to Europe, the Philippines, and Japan. Time at Indiana University and the University of California, Berkeley, led to a Ph. D. in Chemistry and a career in research at the DuPont company in Wilmington, Del. ending as a Research Fellow. Desultory poetry writing over the years increased with the death of my wife, Jane ten Broeck in 1998 and has continued to date.
