I"m almost dead. As are all of us. I have been a writer/poet/artist since I was about 12. My greatest influences have been T. S. Eliot, Bob Dylan, and Ed Kuris. I have 3 children. I have been married for several months. My kids are all adults. Unlike myself. Although I have published quite a bit of work it is difficult to find because there are too many bastards with my name. I should have changed my named to Chaucer when I had the chance.
