Hi John,

I just published my fourth book of poetry: As with another eye: Poems of exactitude. It's available in paperback and Kindle format on Amazon.
Two of my favorite poets are Mary Oliver and Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer (her first name is spelled Rosemerry). Both are intuitive, expressive thinkers who have a marvelous ability to find the right words.
I'm self-taught. I read lots of poetry, but most of it doesn't move me.

Anne Frank
“In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can’t build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again.”
Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl
