The Speed of Light (18 Years Later)

About the Book

A compilation of poems and stories based on similar
material that was still in its gestation stage. Like the title
says this book has come relatively fast after shaking off the
forces of the black hole resisting its light filled message.
It’s this anomaly in the flow of expression that gives the
speed of light its unusual texture and uniqueness leaving
it to the most perspicuous people to perceive the subtle
distinctions between the past Simplicity it is based on
and the present so called Complexity.

In the Simplicity it says I was clutching my therapist Laurie
Boxer voluptuously at the end of the Dark Southern
Night which in the complexity is the Spirit of the House.
One can see how time has brought into focus the
warped aspects of light through time.

This book has a sequel called The Maryland Prize.

About the Author

I was born in Phoenix, Arizona in August 1955, but I was raised by my mother in Santa Monica, Calif during school years while my grandparents took care of me in the summer months in Maryland. I could almost say this sarcastically as I had a very eventful and
spontaneous experience in both places that on reflection I probably would have doubted I could have done so myself, but I did!

My education was just as much a roller coaster ride as I did well in summer calculus just to panic at UCLA .

Likewise I was good at many sports like baseball, basketball, volleyball, and track etc... but due to my summer wanderlust I was unable to hone it down to one specific. Instead I was relegated to being the
commentator I am at present.

Never, Never land was like most of my writing real as I’ve been at this state hospital for over thirty years.

One could say in light of this admission in terms of my famous law of the reverse that my stay wasn’t evil but more in line with the avocation of a priest or doctor although it would make me nervous to avow such a conceited statement as I’m very modest.

Life hasn’t passed me by. Instead I’ve learned to grow with it and live in awe of its majesty.
