About the Book

I’ve been writing poetry for most of my life. However, way back in the day, who would ever think of recording those creations for posterity? It was about forty years ago that I began to make copies of my work, and before I knew it, I had boxes of poems in chronological order. When I retired in 2000, I thought I could keep better track of my poems if they were in alphabetical order. That was when I emptied all those old boxes and replaced the yellowed pieces of paper with my poems retyped onto nice white paper and placed neatly into a file cabinet. But I thought you might be bored meeting my friends alphabetically from A to Z, even meeting them from 1950 to present. That is a long, long time.
