Favorite School Memory | The senior trip to NY City and through DC...it was when the Tent City of poor people was there and we didn't get a chance to visit any of the monuments so they took us to Jamestown, Virginia instead. |
About Me | I went to a church school in Nashville, Tennessee and was thrown out in my sophomore year for having my hair to long. I went to West Virginia University and studied Marxism on a graduate level and learned street protests and violent revolution from the Black Panthers. I took it to the streets after the Kent State Murders and shut down WVU for four days. I ended up on the streets in Nashville. I wrote 2000 poems my first two years out of high school and published a book called Leaves On the Wind. I got married in 1974 and involved with the early Jesus Freak Movement. I came out in 1979 and in the Eighties I wrote and presented a seminar on my experiences. I went through a horrible divorce in 1989-90. I published short stories in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine and poetry in Jim Comstock's West Virginia Hillibilly and a half dozen small presses and university literary magazines. I had five children by my first marriage and remarried in 1990. My stepdaughter from my second marriage has given me five grandchildren but she's involved in an abusive relationship and won't get help so I'm fighting that battle. I have two books of poetry available on Amazon.com and from Lulu.com...one called When Green the Grass Did Grow About the Fumbles of Desire that is my poetry about my life and another called Wolves Eat Deer that is poetry I wrote and gave to my second wife while I was wooing her in the early 1990's. I'm working for the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources as a Purchasing Assistant and I'm writing a third book of poetry that will focus on the reintroduction of rhyme into American poetry and should be available some time next fall. I have scars in places where most people don't even have places. I'm 58 years old and I've spent my life in the Underground...starting with the Radical Left Underground in the Sixties and Early Seventies and then moving in to the Radical Right Religious Underground of the 1970s. I know things that most people don't even suspect and I've been places most people don't even re...(read more) |
