I am a writer that mostly, not always, gets the job done by using poetry. I don't fret about my standing in that community, though. I want to take what needs to be said and say it with honesty. And if I can put beauty there, so much the better. My truth comes from a long, hard life. But that life had lots of grace. I write about that, too. You won't see me published. For one, I don't seek it. Two, I don't have the time left --and I'd rather write. Thanks for your time and attention. Leander.
