Publisher's Synopsis
I initially published "Life and Death in a Single Breath" in 2016 with Xlibris publishing. I have since then published all my poetry and novels via Amazon KDP. My poetry can easily be described as eclectic, perhaps to say the least. I don't have a particular style, nor did take classes in poetry. It feels as though it is something I've always done. I began writing in earnest in the early 80's.I've also included some of my "blog" entries, or musings, if you will, as well as a few reviews, Kathy Kelch - 5.0 out of 5 stars: August 31, 2016: Format: PaperbackEvery time I reread one of the poems or musings in this book I gain a new perspective or insight into myself or into the wrirer...into life itself. I've been a long time fan of the writer and for years feared the loss of his work. Its wonderful to have it gathered and shared. I know new readers will enjoy and gain as much as I have from this book. Hint-reread them at various times. ..sunrise with a cup of coffee or a rainy afternoon and see how they change.Naoni: 5.0 out of 5 stars: A book worth reading!July 10, 2016Format: PaperbackThe poetry in this book can really make you feel, the emotions portrayed really comes out.

July 7, 2016: Format: Kindle Editionand is managing quite well!) I received this book as a gift from a friend of the author. It is the only book I own. I was never much of a reader growing up and have never bought a book in my 50 plus years, let alone read one all the way through. When I am reading his poetry I find myself blocking out the world around me. It's something I never expected. I have laughed and cried while reading them. I can't really explain the effect it has on me, other than to say that it takes me away and I feel things I haven't felt before. I keep it on my nightstand and read one or two almost every night before going to sleep. Some of them I read over and over, getting something different each time, which is really amazing to me. I recommend this book to anyone that likes poetry, and even to those who think they don't, like me before I started reading it.
