INTRODUCTION
This on-going collection of my poetry, essays, calendars and
alphabet are intended to accomplish at least four things:
1.Express the dilemma of physical being as balanced so
dangerously between creation and destruction.
2.Rebellion against the literary establishment, which has
locked poetry inside a prison of bogus modernism where
mediocre prose masquerades as self-centered verse.
3.Alert you to the threat of ecocide and self-extinction
caused by relentless population growth, economic expansion
and massive global pollution.
4.Offer some ideas that may help save this planet and our human civilization.
Copyright 1984 through 20012 + 50 years
I continue struggling to make these literary creations hosted
here on this Angelfire.Lycos website as original as I can.
The poems are uniquely my own, but the essays are on subjects
so many others also write about, similarities are inevitable.
Therefore, even though I self-published a book at Author House
from part of this home page, it is a virtual certainty that no
big time established publisher will ever consider any wider
publication of my work. So, it is appropriate for me to give
permission to decent folks who may wish to quote from these
pages.
