>> My first published poem was a response to an art work by Nicolas

>>
>>
>>
>> My inspiration came from his painting, "Et in Arcadia Ego," from the

>> Greek Mythology , Nature, Art, Music, Dance, history, and literature-

>> years of my creative activities in fine art and writing. It is good to
>> stop and think about our roots, and how we came to love the themes we
>> work with and how we developed as mature writers.
