Plucking A "Poetic" String: "Living and Loving" A Compilation of Poems and Other Writings

This collection, entitled Plucking a Poetic String: "Living and Loving" (with some other writings) hopefully will provide a partial glimpse of just who I am, where I have been, and what I have seen and felt along the way. In the following pages of poems (over fifty) and other writings are some of my major inspirations (starting as far back as 1977). Every encounter with people, places, and things everywhere has taught me a lot about life, and the writings have become a reflection of my experiences. All the poems and other writings complete the 2015 Legacy I volume, particularly dedicated to my family but also shared with friends, acquaintances, and others I am meeting every day. May you find some thoughts within these pages that will be meaningful enough to remind you of people, places, and things "too special to forget."
