This book combines two previously unpublished volumes of poetry, POEMS 1973-1987, and BROOKLYN and AFTER. Together, these works comprise the author's complete work in poetry from the time he started writing in his early twenties through the 1990's.

After a long hiatus, during which the author devoted his time to the demands of his career in risk management, he has once again begun to write poetry, and he is currently working on a verse narrative of the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, the only truly successful Native American uprising in the history of North America.
