At one point in my life I was headed in a completely different direction than the one I currently walk. Yes, I did all sorts of things as a kid, but generally there was a common theme to a lot of it. I really liked school, and I loved the libraries. So of course, I had my head in books a lot.

When I was small up until about my junior year of college, I was going to be a teacher. Specifically, I was going to be a high school English teacher. I know, can you imagine? I'd not only be the goofiest teacher ever, but half the time I'd be mistaken for a student. But yes, I was always in love with books, plays, poetry, and all that stuff. I did creative writing, I did theater, I did tons of reading. So when I see things like this upcoming event, I'm always interested.

As a young man, I would never have admitted to writing poetry or singing love songs to my wife, but at the age I am now I can confess that I still do both. The poems I chose to put in my books are ones that do not need to be deciphered, and some people might think of them as too simple. I do feel obliged to inform the reader that some editors agree with that point of view, and some of the poems were rejected by several publications who know a lot more about poetry than I do. I am from Missouri, however, and have to be shown, so I invite criticism from anyone who cares to give me their comments.
