HINDSIGHT
Had hindsight given me a 20/20 chance
My cards I would play another way
I may have called upon the brigade
Had I known of criminal ways, or
I might have slept my life away.
If I wanted to change the course of events
All I needed was a powerful stance
So, why was I dealt the ace of spades-
Since human experience is flighty at best
I might have averted a wrongful crime
If hindsight had given me a 20/20 chance.. GL LaTorre

About the Book
F
especially for those who share a great fascination for poetry in particular
as poetry tra nscends both imagination a nd interpretation. For it gives a
reader the ability to internalize the poems from his or her perceptive.
We will agree that poetry through the ages has touched the soul of
ma nkind. These trends will continu e as long as poetic writers continu e to
use imagery as they explore paths beyond space a nd time.
In essence, poetry is inspired by numerous huma n conditions a nd
personal experience. Be it from a good or a n ill. . .
Having said that, “F ROM NEAR & BEY OND” was born out of a n
extreme personal tragedy a nd a time of great adversity.

His life at sea originally began with the tall ships and in later years upon freighters.
She has a surviving son and two granddaughters along with three surrogate grandchildren.
Her pragmatism leads her to a belief that past and present of all human experiences is
Intrinsically linked to powers beyond mere human capabilities.
She quantifies this perception that all talent is “God given”, to be used for the
Greater Good…
It is to be said, that she is grateful for this opportunity to have published her first book of
Poetry, (From Near and Beyond). Which will hopefully bring peace and comfort to people who will internalize the words to meet their own life experiences.
