When Did You Start Writing?

“I think I was born writing. At the age of seven I began to write seriously and even asked my parents for a typewriter so that I could put the stories together in ‘print’ format. I wrote predominantly poetry until I finished law school. In fact, I attended two poetry programs at The Johns Hopkins University Writing Seminars and The University of Arizona where I studied with poets, Carolyn Kizer, Peter Sacks, Jon Anderson and even playwright Edward Albee. I published several poems from my manuscript entitled ‘The Language of Butchers’ and received quite a few awards for my efforts. But, alas, at a dismal $10 per poem I had to resort to other kinds of writing to make ends meet.”
