I write mainly poetry for the inner journey. I also have a feisty side-line of writing poetic commentaries on the war industry and politics & culture. "When power corrupts, poetry cleanses" (JFK, Oct 1963)

Favorite Poets/Writers

Simon Armitage, Veronika Bond, Imtiaz Dharker, Carol Ann Duffy, Wilfrid Owen, Sylvia Plath
