I was born in Hamilton, Ohio, in 1925, a confession that I am an old geezer. I served in the infantry during World War II, was wounded and discharged in 1946.  I then obtained a B.A. degree with honors in English in 1949.  Subsequently I taught in Cincinnati public schools and at the University of Cincinnati for the next 35 years.  

My poetry has appeared in:

Wall Street Journal
Hellas
Lyric
Envoi
Midwest Poetry Review (a sonnet won awards)
Aethlon
Light
Poet's View
Classical Outlook
Mind over Matter

Several books have been self-published but Wormwood and Whines, a compilation of many of my poems, was published by Superior Books in 1999.
