A tough kid growing up on Trenton NJ streets, learned English phonetically from the Sisters of Mercy who showed none. Then barely graduated public high school. Had been workin' since 15, never stopped. From 1967 a regular hippie, still am a 60's guy inside turned modern to keep up with the new age. Just always loved to write, never afraid of a blank page. Retired now, write poems, books, essays, whatever, and emails of course, from 2 am when get up until about 4 pm, every single day. He will will let me know when I have to stop.
