After 30 years, I am finally publishing poetry for kids that I wrote when my own were in primary school. Reading to children at bedtime was a standard routine for us, and I found that poetry and beautiful images, with a little humor thrown in, was always a good way to say goodnight to my sweetie pies. Now, with the help of masterful illustrator Vicki Moon Spiegel of the Columbus Zoo, you can read some beautiful bedtime stories to your own sweetie pies. I like to think that my poetry, whimsy, imagery, and clever use of language will delight kids and their adult reader. My purpose is to involve the kids, and show them a world of other things that go on at night while they’re sleeping. EVENSONG, a collection of nighttime poems, might be just the ticket. My career spans the gamut from engineering draftsman to graphic designer to large-tree sales to pre-press digital artist to flower farm owner to copywriter to reading tutor to, now, poetry. Yes, change is good.
