My mother was born by the Irish Sea. My great-grandfather crossed the ocean arriving here from Russia. When I was young, my father shared poetry with me, including the work of the Russian poet, Yevtushenko. I've shared my poetry with many people since then as I am sharing them now with you, my reader. Thank you for coming on this little voyage. (...)" --Back cover.
