my dad.

...and what are the words one uses to describe a compilation?, works from my entire life?, fifty years of carrying around a yellow pad?, fifty years of writing and rewriting, changing the words, as their meanings change for me?

Constructive criticism regarding any of my work, always welcomed, appreciated and read with an open heart.
