destruction precedes construction -  Picasso

objects are just an external manifestation of an internal process  -  Mo

put it on ice, it don't go bad  -  Ray

I received an MA Sculpture from Goddard College, Plainfield ,Vermont in 1974.  My advisor was Morgan Gibson, a poet, to whom I owe many thanks.

From my paternal grandfather, Carmine, I learned the magic, the beauty of a well told story and I was amazed by the wonderful gifts he made, with basic hand tools and salvaged materials. He heard the old men in the village say that man will never fly.  He walked 10 miles to see the first airplane.

I am grateful to the Origami Poems Project for your support and waking me from my stupor.

Be sure to walk over to Mo's OPP poetry page, here.
