Confetti: A Life In Verse

Confetti: A Life In Verse

Confetti is a work of poetry and fiction, a moving portrait of a complicated man coming to terms with life in the 21st century. Boyhood, first loves, work, marriage, children, extended family, faith, and the difficulties of aging, caregiving, and accepting death. Both an emotional journey of one man's soul and a beautiful love story. Although its form is that of an autobiography, it is not one. Characters, incidents and chronology are the products of the author's imagination. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.

The Author's Inspirations

The author's inspirations include: The interior life; the maturing of the spiritual and psychological self; Theodore Roethke's idea that every line is its own poem; creating sparks by juxtaposing words; working from grids of favorite words; the deepening of meaning through repetition; dream states; ordering poems into a chronological representation of a life; fractured narratives with flipping perspectives; the simplicity and immediacy of the couplet; the various impacts of the short line; and the flow experience produced by space on the page.
