Burn Before Reading

This book of poems is my second attempt to introduce myself to anyone who would like to know me. The first attempt was A Peek Inside, my first book of poems, published a few months ago. Each of these poems was written to clarify, for myself, in my mind, some thought—idea—that interested me. I’m publishing, not to sell, but to tell. If anyone is interested, here is who I am, have been, piece by piece, an anecdotal succession of my thoughts over the eighty years that I have been thinking and writing about stuff. It’s not all pretty…but it’s all true.
