I live with my wife in Richmond, Virginia and am retired from the work force. I enjoy writing, woodworking, blogging and photography. I graduated from Boston University (1968-1972) with a degree in English Literature. I wrote poetry while there and submitted it to Anne Sexton in hopes of being chosen for one of her classes. But no luck. I did see W.H. Auden read his poetry at Boston College however. Two years ago I began writing again for my blog Virginia Breeze. I write a poem every month or two and am collecting them to be read someday on a sailboat in the Chesapeake Bay where "my" ashes will meet wind and water.
