Dotterel Dene

I moved a lot when young and restless… and tried to capture this in these poems.  My early verse began in northern British Columbia/Canada, up on the Peace River at a construction site; where I bought my first portable typewriter…

I later took this prize object down to California, where the poems continued, because I was not prepared for writing prose…

Poetry was good training for later prose — meanwhile they helped me keep-up with things and improved my writing skills…
