"The Wheel of Time" poetry collection released
After years of hard work, I have finally released my poetry book, titled "The Wheel of Time", named after a poem I wrote in 1982. Many of my current readers don't know the Poetry of my younger days, nor do these readers have access to a wide collection of poems due to the scarcity of published Poetry books.
Thus, I present to you, my readers, a hand-selected collection of my poetry from 40 years of writing, organized into 4 chapters of 10 years each. It would be the happy result of my years of writing poetry that a single poem or even a single line shines into the heart of a reader.
