Autorenporträt

Ken Grant, a retired Presbyterian minister, lives with his wife in Pasadena, California. Born in Los Angeles and raised in nearby Glendale, he was a "movie moppet" (bit player and extra) during his teen years and served with the U.S. Navy in the South Pacific during World War Two. Returning afterward he completed his education at the University of Southern California. Following seminary training, he spent nearly forty years pastoring churches in California and the Midwest including parishes in Iowa, Arizona, Missouri and Colorado. Ken's interests are broad and his sympathies wide as his poems, written over many years, suggest. Some reflect his experience overseas, others a brief time in the business world. Many others, however, were born of his years spent pastoring an extensive variety of churches and the fascinating people met along the way. Ken's previously published book, Ponderings (1986), is a collection of stories about country folk in their relation with each other and "The Almighty" as told by an old hand, a cowboy named Cactus. The second book, Thunderhead takes its title from the first poem in the book and is followed by several subjects then ends with a poem from the old cowboy. The third book, From Where I Sit, embraces the long life and richly varied experiences of a sensitive soul who continues to write and stay very active' in his senior years, It ends with a section of his sketches. The present volume reflects the author's keen observations of the world around him ("I'll never look at a door the same way again" said one pre-reader), and his unique memories and spiritual insights which they inspire now in his senior years.
