Poetical Journeys
Providing thoughtful comments on life
Welcome to Poetical Journeys – This is the second total site revision. The original site was first published in 2001. The first revision or redesign occurred in 2019. The newest one occurred in 2024. It is simplified from the 250+ pages in the old one. You will continue to discover my latest poetry and photography, read an occasional vignette, receive a recommendation or two, learn about my twenty-nine books, and generally experience an upbeat feel.
