i'm an older fellow, just turned 59, who has spent his life in many various, usually
physically taxing, jobs, but has never stopped writing. mainly poetry. i'm still taking classes and endeavoring to finally get the BA that has eluded me for various
and sundry reasons. besides poetry my passions are; continually creating and maintaining a flowery jungle garden outside my apartment, photography, playing guitar and bit'o mandolin (emphasis on Irish music, folk and blues) and reading quite voraciously books on everything.
