I was asked early Thursday morning by someone who had recently read my book for the first time about one of the poems in it. Of all the pieces I’ve written over the years it still is one of the ones I get asked about the most. They where curious about the story behind it and as I told them that piece is one of the ones that I’ve used the least amount of poetic license with. I was invited to write a blog post about it a few years ago which can be read here http://sandsaustralia.blogspot.com.au/…/reflections-of-fath…
If you want to hear more anecdotes about some of my work check out some of the live readings I’ve given over the years.
