Upcoming...
- Publishing my first book...
Some personal stuff...
- Favorite author - Henry Miller,
at the very top of my list
- Favorite book - The Wisdom of the Heart, by Henry Miller
- Favorite quote - "Strange as it may seem today to say, the aim of life
is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely,
divinely aware." Henry Miller, from an essay, "Creative
Death".
- Favorite Artist & Painting - many, but Edward Hopper is a
star. Nighthawks is one favorite.
- Telling friends they should read - duh, Henry Miller...anything by him,
with the possible exception of his first novels very early on. Tropic of
Cancer was the start of his fame, but Tropic of Capricorn shines
above. Don't confuse Henry with Arthur Miller, another great, because they
are night and day.
- Favorite poet - e.e. cummings (and, yes, lower case was his style.
I also enjoy Beat poets immensely.
- Favorite food - Mushroom ravioli
- Favorite movies of all time - Chinatown,
Casablanca
- Favorite music and song - Rock, jazz, pop, classical...
eclectic. Personally, nothing beats At Last by Etta James.
- Light of his life - my two children, for
starters.
2003 Honorable Mention, Poetry Competition,
for the poem, An American Indian, performed at
Lakeland Community College, published in the Lakeland Forum
