Perusal of the World
Born April twenty-ninth, nineteen forty-nine
in the small city of Bathurst, New Brunswick, Canada;
I am the third eldest of thirteen children, ten girls and three boys.
The product of a semi-dysfunctional family;
my upbringing was influenced by a physically abusive father,
offset by a loving, nurturing mother.
I'm gay, happily married, comfortably retired, and like to write poems.
My poetry touches on pain, fear, love, and social issues.
I tap my life experiences to convey emotions and explore feelings;
thus, my heart and soul are on display for the perusal of the world.
