This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. My handbook for reflection and recollection to tune my soul for amusement and pleasure. Favorite quote: MUSAEUS 'Song is to mortals of all things the sweetest as per Aristotle in 'On Poetry and Music' as translated by S.H. Butchers Bobbs Merrill Company Inc. Publishers (Library of Liberal Arts: Oscar Piest, Founder)I have fond memories of my mother reading poetry to me at night snug in my bed: ONE HUNDRED AND ONE FAMOUS POEMS and growing up in a little Iowa burg with my puckish friends, to taunt and haunt the orchards, woods, lumberyard and railroad depot. Moving on I obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in English: taught English and Shakespeare to engineers in Puerto Rico; returned to studies at the University of Iowa where I met and experience the work of many poets and artists in Iowa City. My first book of poems 'Nine Lives' was published by Brad Harvey at Ocotillo Press.
