f Preface I began writing at home in Brooklyn in 1960 when I just turned 17. That was the year my mother died at age 44 with my first poem being about her death. I continued writing through and including my years in the navy and after my discharge. Then there was an approximate 25 year gap in my writing between the early 1970s and late 1990s when I was focused on my career and bachelor years living in New York City and Rio de Janeiro, travelling, getting married and starting a family and then working 7 Â˝ yeas renovating our 1894 home in Connecticut. I started out writing traditional style poetry but then gravitated to blank verse. Many of my poems may be thought of as poetic chronicles or essays as they record my observations, feelings and experiences. Some poems represent emotional lows that were written for emotional release and may even take the form of private confessions. Many are heavy, personal and serious which reflect the somewhat introspective side of my nature and personality. A number reflect some of the events of my younger, delinquent and wilder days before I settled down. I thought about excluding certain poems that were not well written, were too personal or revealing or that talked about my youthful indiscretions but decided to include them for completeness which I hope any readers will take into account.

Although not completely satisfied with the quality of many of the poems I had to make the decision to stop making revisions and edits as a matter of practicality. Between 1960 and 2014 Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve written approximately 1,500 poems which have been compiled into 14 volumes: 8 volumes of general poems and 6 volumes of poems that relate to my family. Volume 8 is supplemented with poems that relate to the 911 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City on 9-11-2001. A 15th volume, this volume, contains a master index of all the poems and a 16th comprises an anthology of selected poems. I apologize if any offense is taken with anything Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve written as that was not my intent. Also, since these poems were not professionally edited, I apologize for any deficiencies in poetic form and for any grammatical, typographical or spelling errors. It is my hope that these poems, along with my other personal works (i.e. my journals, books and other writings; music compositions; family movies and photo albums; paintings; and various collections and memorabilia) will serve as my legacy and mark in life as well as a personal inheritance to my family. The indexes in this Master Index volume are presented as follows: By Book: By the book in which the poems are contained. By Date: By the chronological order in which they were written. By Title: By the title and other information about the poem. By Rating: By the rating I assigned to them based on my feeling as to their poetic style, subject matter or personal meaning to me.
