About the Book
The Trochilus Bird is a collection of Poetry, with Limericks and reflections added by the author. These works were accumulated over many years and originally intended as a hobby. Since they do capture the authors range of emotions, experienced over so many years, his family insisted he remove them from the dark recesses of file cabinets and place the entire collection under the glare of publication. As the author has stated, “At least they are published, candidates for survival and not lurking in sad typescript.”
