An Appeal to Reveal Poetic Ideal

About the Book

Separated into ten subject matters, the book contains numerous poems and short stories reflecting my life experiences and the hundreds of books I have read. The subjects are relevant to everyone—passing, man, wisdom, time, personal, history, life, woman, metaphysics, and religion.

About the Author

I was born in a small Illinois town in 1931. Fortunately, I was able to complete my schooling thru the 12th grade. After serving in the Air Force during the Korean War, I married and raised three children, supporting my family by working for a local railroad. However, I always had a strong desire to read and write. Thru 25 years of reading about life, philosophy, religion, history, art, and many other subjects, I began writing prose or poetry revealing my reflections and interpretations of my life and extensive readings. I published my first book in 2006.
