James A. Osteen Jr.
I have lived in the mountains of western N.C. all of my life. I am proud of my state and love my country and love to read and write rhyme. I have written and published six books of rhyme and look for a poem in everything around me. I believe we reveal something of ourself in how we write and what we write and perhaps I will reveal more than I should about myself. But I must write so will you listen?
