I am a writer because I have no other choice. I write because I must; one could say that I am written,  and be just as correct as  saying that I write. I am a former philosophy professor, who has been forced into an Early retirement by disability. Thus, I can now write at my leisure and in genres rather different from the critico-theoretical style demanded  by my former vocation. Nonetheless, I had the rather novel notion strike me as I thought of the difference between my style and a friend of mine who is a metaphorical genius,  that each of my poems includes an implicit argument of some sort.  Old habits are hard to break.
My most difficult task is working with narrative fiction. There is an entirely different set of syntactical rules  than those  applying to argumentative/polemical/theoretical writing. Nonetheless, I am pushing on.
Finally, if you have a suggestion as to how I may improve a particular piece, please don't hesitate to express it. Otherwise, of course, commentary is just fine. Trust me: I have gone toe to toe with certain people found in all graduate programs, who hold the conviction that invective is a synonym for intelligent.. Clearly such people should consult a Thesaurus. Nonetheless, constructive criticism can play an important part on sites such as this. Having battled many a mad buffoon, my skin is tougher than  a rhinoceros.  Please unwrap your hammers,  so that I can see how  my idols stand up to a pounding.
