My later years acknowledge the decisive benefit of the internet and the web in allowing me the possibility of publication, therefore giving the incentive to learn subjects to write about them.
While, from my youth, I acknowledge the intellectual debt that I owed a social science degree, while coming to radically disagree, even as a student, with its out-look and aims.
Whereas from middle age, I acknowledge how much I owed to the friendship of Dorothy Cowlin, largely the subject of my e-book, Dates and Dorothy. This is the second in a series of five books of my collected verse. Her letters to me, and my comments came out, in: Echoes of a Friend.....
Authors have played a big part in my life.
Years ago, two women independently asked me: Richard, don't you ever read anything but serious books?
But Dorothy was an author who influenced me personally, as well as from the written page. And that makes all the difference.
I was the author of the Democracy Science website since 1999. This combined scientific research with democratic reform. It is now mainly used as an archive. Since 2014, I have written e-books.
I have only become a book author myself, on retiring age, starting at stopping time!
2014, slightly modified 2022.
Society grows ever more vulnerable in its folly. Human self-harm threatens the survival of the race and our fellow creatures. No amount of dystopian science-fiction or satire can shake the pathological blunderings of governments. Yet the beauty of creation can make makers or poets of our-selves. And if we can not cure the human condition, we can at least laf (or laugh) at its absurdities, not least in one-self.
One could not hope to change things for the better with verses. However, I did try to make these verses better, as good poets generally do. Most poems are short. Not so, the long first two poems, which are revised and up-dated versions of narrative verse, that I put on one of my web-sites.
The quickest way to get a hint of the range of topics is to look at the titles of the 160 poems listed in the table of contents, that begins the free sample.
I hope kind readers will find this great variety of thought and imagination, information, fancy and speculation, well worth their precious time.
