“My barn having burned to the ground, I can now see the moon.†Japanese poet Masahide
Whatever the circumstances, and catastrophes, however hard it is, Life is good. I cannot say life has always been happy, but I can say that whatever we do in life, the more we do for others the better our own lives will be. It might sound like a cliché but I promise, if you count your blessings rather than your pains, your outlook will be right.
I write a lot. Every day. Reviews, commentary and interviews, and for the last 37 years I've written poetry. I consider myself a poet, after years of wondering about my place and role in this world. I write poems. I am a poet.
I wrote a short story found in Josh Howard Presents SASQUATCH from VIPER COMICS, which is available upon Amazon and elsewhere.
My book A LIFE OF RAVENS came out from Sharayah Press September 7th, it is available online from Amazon and elsewhere.
I've cowritten a spooky western tale that mixes crime, violence and racism and the dust bowl, called "DUST TO DUST when Reverend Jesse James met Machine Gun Kelly" it comes out by end of July 2008
I have five short horror stories appearing in a horror anthology called AFTER HOURS. I do not know when it will appear but should be by the end of 2008.
I have another book with epic Myths and ancient world poems in the works. Cannot chat it yet due to the various people and works not being assigned or complete.
Other projects approach but nothing solid enough to chat.
chat with me if you like at [email protected], upon Popthought.com's forum or at the MCBA's two conventions, FallCon and MicroCon.
I am also at A BLOG ABOUT GOD
Oh, and for those people who have not heard enough from me, here is an interview of me, done by my good friend David "Gimme the Facts" Yurkovich, INTERVIEW
“Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment that will never be again. And what do we teach our children? We teach them that two and two make four, and that Paris is the capital of France. When will we also teach them what they are? We should say to each of them: Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have passed, there has never been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move. You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel. And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is, like you, a marvel? You must work, we must all work, to make the world worthy of its children.â€
