These are very personal poems, self published with love. The Comedy was conceived during a time of deep reflection and insight: Illness, treatment, a remarkable chaplin, confronting bleak truths, hours of forced reflection, and Love led me through a profound journey to a new Vision of Life. In the end, these poems are a modern and intimate Divine Comedy in the spirit of William Carlos William's "This is Just to Say" and Jack Kerouac's "Blues." "I have eaten the plums that were in the icebox and which you were probably saving for breakfast Forgive me they were delicious so sweet and so cold" -Williams "I want to be considered a jazz poet blowing a long blues in an afternoon jam session on Sunday." -Kerouac I pray that you find Love in these pages...
