Writings

The real writer is one 
who really writes. Talent 
is an invention like phlogiston 
after the fact of fire. 
Work is its own cure.  You have to 
like it better than being loved.
- Marge Piercy, Poet

I’ve always been split right and left brain. Would there be a dominant side, I’d have a much simpler life no doubt.

The first section on this page links to my personal works, while the second is a tribute to some of my favourite authors and poets.

 

Personal Writings

I don’t profess to be a great writer of prose or poetry so will take any criticism for the betterment of what skill I have. It is better to write poorly than to never write at all.

Prose

Poetry
