I lived on St. Stephen Street, St. Botolph Street and on East Eighth Street in Southie from 1977 to 1994.
I am from Historic Lexington (from 1949-1971)(from 1971 to 1976 I lived in Brockton)
I wrote my first ten books on St. Botolph Street. My books are mostly poetry, with biographical sketches, and
photography added, totalling 25 books.
I read for Jack Powers twice, considered him a friend, a mentor, and a good promoter of poets and poetry.
