Tough Millennium: Poems

Since 2000, Ed has experienced and documented in his poetry, at least three life changing events: the cancers and eventual passing in 2008 of his dear wife, Ellen; the burning and rebuilding of their house in 2004-2005; and his own quadruple bypass in 2005. TOUGH MILLENNIUM is the poetic record of these events and their effects on his life.
