Some of the root
creative & time tested works of literature had their inspiration
in the pain, hope, & suffering of experiencing life to its
fullest. Much of my poetry deals with the human condition, as seen
from the perspective of a person with a disability that began in his
earlier years, & the struggles & sacrifices made to
participate in the world as a contributing being. My work stretches
from the often shallowness of man's heart to the absolute triumph of
his spirit over obstacles both seen & unseen.
My writing hopefully provokes the
reader to better understand what a person's will can overcome, create,
and accomplish in the face of everyday adversity. My poetry may not
always express a joyful tone, but to deny its honesty is an untruth in
itself.
I believe that my poetry helps to
further define the ever emerging and growing culture of people with
disabilities and thus is of some significance. Further, I feel
comfortable in describing much of my life as, "An Exercise in
Quiet Fortitude and a Triumph of the Human Spirit."
Thank you for visiting my website. Feel
