i am a product of steel mills and coal mines and truck drivers, given
a love of learning from my grandfather who immigrated from italy in
his teens.he spent 50 years working in the steel mill and read
shakesphere for his own enjoyment. i've written poetry since my teen
years in the 60's and have been published in some lit mags and
on-line. i am eclectic by nature, thought of as bizarre but kind by
friends.
