Gawdawful Poems

This is why I write prose. Fortunately, most of the poems I wrote in my college days were in a single binder which seems to have disappeared. These ones survived. You can download them here .

MS Reader Version

The book will open as a gawdawful pdf file in your browser. (If you need Adobe Reader, click the Adobe icon above.) Then, save the file to your desktop or recycle bin.

Two of the poems in this book, galileo and arrival, were read at the International Multicultural-Multilingual Poetry Reading in conjunction with the United Nations’ Dialogue Among Civilizations Through Poetry. This year’s event was put together by poet Nela Rio at the Charlotte Street Art Center in Fredericton.
