I'm not writing anything even vaguely political today, because today I officially self-published my first book of poetry. That seems like enough for one day. This book of mine began it's life as a gift for my daughter on her second birthday; more than fifty poems recording her first two years as I experienced them. It was a very personal gift. I think that now, three years later, it is something more. It is still personal, but I think it captures a small piece of the experience of parenting when both parent and child are still pretty new, and maybe even something more universal than that. I think that what we have to say only resonates with others when we feel it deeply, when it is truly personal. I know that what I have written in this book of poetry is, with few exceptions, very personal and felt very deeply. I hope that means it will resonate with others ... maybe with you. I hope you take a look, and I hope you like what you see.
The book (Zero to Two in Sixty Seconds Flat: Parenthood, Poetry, and First Two Years of Your Child's Life)can be purchased here.
It should also be available on amazon.com soon.
