Reading and writing poetry are my life passions. I enjoy contemporary reads, and lean toward the abstract in my own writing. I have published 17 collections of poetry, and now busy working on my 18th. Besides these one biography and then this book. I have a number of books published at some of the well-known online retail sites that publish print books and e-books. Presently I am in the process of publishing e-book versions of existing books as well as new ones, in various formats, as required by different publishing, marketing and distributors of e-books. Besides the above, I also write poems and interact with a number of authors on various poetry sites.
