I attended college there and studied sciences, humanities, and mathematics. I had a deep desire for literature, specifically Poetry. I loved TS Elliot, Theodore Roethke, and Robert Frost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI developed a deep understanding of lyrics and poetry at an early age, often analyzing the meaning of song lyrics. In the early 1980s, I began to dabble in writing after taking college courses at the University of Hawaii, Manoa. Early influences were singer\/songwriter Dan Folgerberg, Theodore Roethke, Kahlil Gibran, T.S. Elliot, and whatever musical lyrics made me think of a better place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI am a good photographer, as you will see in the book. I became a self-proclaimed existentialist in my early twenties and have always believed that there are answers everywhere, and reasons why life happens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBack to New York... In 1985, I earned a degree from The Culinary Institute of America and pursued that vocation for approximately twenty years. I have always held a high regard for nature, landscape, and people in general. I have a keen eye for detail and take whatever offering becomes me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI am currently working as a nurse, where humanity and diversity have inspired me more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt present, I have compiled a selection of poetry that represents my views from inspiration. Writing poetry is a gift that I respect in any form. Often with hidden meanings and the use of metaphor, it entertains and challenges the reader to think... What if?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCurrently, in my golden years, I take nothing for granted and have come to learn that life is a gift. And to share a talent is giving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease enjoy this collection; it was both a pleasure and a privilege to complete. I thank humanity for the inspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 54\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.31 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 28, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45852268560581,"sku":"9798900194356","price":28.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/BLyuiyOOIo9798900194356_264ca4ab-bddf-4eee-9763-86dd1d5e0fb5.webp?v=1771450712","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/big-rocks-little-rocks-a-collection-of-contemporary-poetry-hardcover-1","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
