Alan Gardner has been writing poetry for the past 50 years and has been printed in so many periodicals he can't remember them all. His publishers reminded him that his works were forgettable. A graduate of the University of Georgia and Adelphi University (Garden City, N.Y.), Alan majored in neither English, creative writing, nor communications. With the help of his wife, Sona, who spent many countless hours correcting spelling and syntax, Alan has created this work which he is proud to hand down to his children and grandchildren.
