These poems were written over a 35-year period (1974 - 2009). Some are in a traditional rhymed form, others contain an internal rhyme and still others are composed in free verse. The Memory of the title is written in an open-ended free-form style that the author feels best reflects the spirit of the narrative. Some of these poems were previously published in literary journals or magazines, including: Bananas (London), Rolling Stone, Poetry Motel, Richmond Quarterly, Kindred Spirit, Gairfish (Scotland) and In Focus (Cyprus). Alexander Lowell is currently a freelance journalist concentrating on food, wine and the arts. He lives in Virginia.
