Poetry is definitely my favorite form of expression and I have been consistently writing poems since 1969 upon graduating Grosmont High School and attending San Diego State University. I began Transcendental Meditation in 1974 and also do the TM Sidhi Program daily. I am currently single and enjoy riding my mountain bike and going to the gym. I am currently working on several new manuscripts of verse: The Divided Soul, The Whole Soul, Letters To One Man, Out Of Words, and Conversations With A Heart. My topics widespread and are based

on the acceptance of oneself in verse. This blends in an evolutionary stature of what one is becoming, topically applying new ways to express these many topics. Inspiration is a large part of the show but I feel I definitely have something to say and poetry is the private ritual for subliminaly engaging with others. The personality of expression is an important factor to me. I think the highest compliment one can pay a poet or writer is by saying,” I know that person!” after reading their work. It is with my pleasure and deep affection to continue that process ongoingly throughout my works.  Writing the new book just published in August 2023, Praising Nature, was a wonderful experience for me. I wrote practically nonstop once the idea for the book revealed itself. It was living proof never to give up on one’s passion.
