The Hawk is a symbol of creativity, truth and experience. I choose to write under his name because my work is based upon my view of each of those things. The poetry in this book is a pure reflection of the things that I have seen and experienced in my life. It is a portrait of the tapestry that has been woven along my path through life and my observation of that. Fly with me on this journey through my life and see how I view life and the people who have touched mine in very special ways. Perhaps you will find similarity with your own life as well as contrast. In either case we are fellow travelers viewing existence from on high.
