My love of writing poetry came from my dad who was a published author. He encouraged me to enter contests with him when I was a teen. This photo was taken the day we were published in a collection of poetry titled: "Great American Poets" back in the early 80's. For me (and I know the same was true of dad), writing poetry can be a therapeutic process to healing the pain that comes with loving deeply.
