Poetry 101

By Stephen J Leonard

This is a collection of my poetry. I was born in England but migrated to Australia as a child with my family. For most of my life I have lived in Wollongong NSW. I have had the pleasure of teaching in Catholic primary and secondary schools. I retired at the end of 2019 but still work as a casual teacher. Most of my poems were written in the past 6 years. I would like to thank the many students who have encouraged me to write and publish, and 6 months ago I made a promise that I would publish before the end of 2026. This is the result. I would like to dedicate this book to the many family members and friends who have encouraged me to pursue this area of interest. Special mention to my loving and supportive wife, Ernestina.
