Dates and Dorothy

Dates and Dorothy

Since coming of age I wanted to change the world, when, in middle age, the world returned the compliment by changing me. That is when I met my guide and mentor Dorothy Cowlin.

The first half of this book explores the life of the poet and novelist. (Most of this review of Dorothy Cowlin remains freely available online for an uncertain time.)

The second half of this book, classed as life and love poetry, continues my collected verse, begun in book one of nature poetry, The Valesman.
Here is the story of my out-going friendship with Dorothy for over twenty years.
The Dates, historical and romantic, make up two of the other sections, covering the post-war years. There is a final section on "the romance of religion."
