Heart Warming Traces

About the Book

This effort carries bits and pieces of my life dating back to some early years to where I am at now in my life—forty-one years, countless towns, cities, and states later. Volume 1 Tanka is the first volume of four. The introduction expresses my thoughts and laces up the avid reader on what they are about to experience with Tanka, as well as other forms of Asian poetry. If you’re into poetry and continuation, then you are more than welcome to jump aboard because we’re headed onward at the speed limit for sure.

About the Author

Hello and thank you for welcoming this: laborer, poet, and freelance writer into your world. A large sum of my life has been spent running around, one way or the other, Houston, TX doing me. Now that I have started expressing myself in a literature way I don‘t see an end. One of my biggest joys comes from writing anew (about other than myself). In the very near future, I plan on traveling to faraway places with the wonderment of a child just learning to walk. I have managed to get four of my poems publish elsewhere (Undertow Tanka Review Issue 5)
