TALES OF TERROR AND TENDERNESS is a collection of poems and prose written from about 1975/1976 (when I was about 7 or 8 years old) to mid 2002 or so. Most of them, however, are from the 1980s as I was going through high school and my first attempt at college.
The poetry is reflective of the periods in my life when I was confused, scared, or just plain clueless as to what I was thinking and feeling. And so, with my head unable to understand the torrent of emotion that I was trapped within, I put pen to paper (and later, finger to keyboard) and let my heart write without interference.
