About the Author

After many years in the frantic drive for the elusive “American Dream” and the phony demands of the business world all culminating on a nasty “mid-life” crisis, Joseph embarked on a do or die quest for a simpler life. He moved to the seclusion of the mountains where he built a small log cabin; all by himself with old pioneer tools, and here he waited for a direction to arrive from deep within. Eventually, and on a whim, he was urged to try sculpting. Having no formal training in this art and amazed at a natural talent lying dormant within him; a new career was birthed that carried him for twenty years. A crippling stroke at 63 ended this career as abruptly as it had started. Being unable to just vegetate, Joseph decided to start sculpting with words, another area where he was untrained. Upon serious study of words and the real meaning of words a whole new world opened up and he began to sculpt with words and his poetic writings began to immerge almost effortlessly! Eventually he was introduced to the world of Acrostic expression which led to his first small publication entitled: “Acrostic Poetry and Observations” Available on Amazon.
