At once you will realize this is a quick and highly observant mind behind these poems. These are not average views you will experience, but rather ones honed by a deep and well-earned awareness of the world. Remember that David is not only a poet, but also a scientist. Get ready for some wonderful surprises. Get ready to think more deeply about what you assume to be true. Get ready to experience some delightful poems." David Connor is a retired physician living in Petaluma, California. His interest in poetry began early in life, influenced by his mother and a great aunt, a poet of the 1930's. He did not have a literary education; instead he graduated from Harvard University with a B.A. in Economics and from the University of Minnesota with a B.S. and an M.D. He practiced Nephrology in the San Francisco Bay Area for 30 years and began attending poetry workshops with Diane Frank, Dale Biron, and Prartho Sereno. In his retirement, he writes a poem every day and has traded his medical practice for fly fishing rivers. He also has a collection of signed books published by some of the most famous poets of his generation.
