Gone But Not Forgotten
I am not going to tell you this was easy for me to put a book together about 9-11 poems. It wasn’t. You could not ever imagine the horror of this sad day 9-11-2001. I was not there but I give you a broad description from what I heard on TV and in the news. The sights, the sounds, the fear, the shock, the disbelief, and most of all the hurt. When you open this book and start reading my poems take it in sequence and put yourself in the middle of it now. It’s 14 years of poems impacting our lives each and everyday. I never realized growing up that eventually I would have a desire to write. My mom and dad I miss you both. I thank you at this time for being my pillars of strength and understanding. To my loving children Jacqueline and Daniel for believing in your dad when I didn’t believe in myself. Now I just pick up my pen and the words flow out. Remember, keep it moving it takes both time and effort to be a successful poet, be patient, and open minded to the subject of interest at this your time. I believe in myself and in my writing and have to believe in myself before conquering anything else. I just wanted to share with you at this time half of the proceeds of my book are going to a charity for kids close to my heart. Thanks for your generosity & kindness today.

I Leonard (Lenny) Pollara have been writing poems now for the past 30 years. These poems I wrote on 9-11 are some of the most powerful & touching ones I have written to date. The art of writing poetry is a gift that I never knew I had growing up. In this book now is a generous outpouring of emotions.

From the beginning, and throughout the process of publishing my first book, I felt that I was in the hands of a pro. Dana always took the time to answer my questions in detail and swiftly, and if she didn't have 100% confidence, she researched the question and got back to me. I was very pleased with her and I am also thankful that I was paired with her as an Author Rep.

The one-on-one with Lisa was great. Especially the phone call picking out styles, font, cover template etc. She even got a vote on the color. I so wanted to have my daughter's painting as the art work on the cover and she gave me a way to do that. Her guidance helped turn my dream into a reality and sometimes it is still hard to believe until I look at my book. Thank you.
