"A Warm Breeze While Under Palm Trees" gives an expressive effort toward two locales that are dubbed paradise by the author/poet. With a descriptive charm, he captures the essence of Key West and Fire Island from differing perspectives, putting the readers there for a timely and playful visit through their imaginations. Beach wear is optional but suggested! Coppertone not included!

Favorite quote on writing…
“Anyone can write, but not many can express. The challenge of poetry and writing is in creating the vision, then finding the right words to express it. I have written for over thirty years and find this to be the most challenging form of communication, and yet the most satisfying.”
