I remember I first started writing poetry in junior high school calligraphy class. I loved that class. The teacher was one of those cool adults who played LP’s on his foldup phonograph player, during the class. Like music, writing became an outlet for me along with becoming a friend. I know my poetry is not that brilliant. I know technically, it would never win any kind of a contest. I also know it’s the same thing over and over again. But there’s something inside of me that wants to do this. It’s part of who I am and this collection is part of my story. And it’s one of those things that if I don’t do it now, I’ll regret it forever. My personal thanks to Richard Bach who wrote Illusions, a book that changed my life and gave me hope when I was young, angry and lost. And thank you from the heavens to John Lennon, who always kept it simple and made it all about love, because it is.
