About the Book
Render is a collection of poetry that was written during a transitional time. I was going through a mid-life crisis, also known as a follow your bliss moment. To put it musically, I left a good job on the railroad, working for the man all the live long day. Then, I got a job on the good side of the city, working on a historic steamboat on the Ohio River. I worked in betwixt those situations as a deck hand on the riverboat casino, The Glory of Rome. This book represents a change, a rebirth and the death do us part all print.
