writing poetry and prose since the age of nine. "Untamed Nostalgia
-- Wild Poems" is a reflection of the poet's feelings since a
few hours after the onset of an illness in April 2002 and the aftermath
of the "War on Terrorism". A majority of the poems are free
verse with subjects varying from the deadly serious, pensive and philosophical,
to true stories and whimsical or provocative themes.
