Experience

The Reward For Standing Back Up

Over the last 20 years I've have been writing poems about getting married, having a daughter, going through a divorce, the death of my father, the recovery and life and obversations afterwards. I started off journaling but found the free flow of thoughts unhelpful, I started writing poetry, trying to find the right words to really convey how I was feeling. Several years ago I started a Poetry Meetup group in Manchester NH, and participated in the poetry workshop/conference at the Frost Farm in Derry NH from 2017 - 2019. Covid cancelled the event two years ago, and this year it was moved to August, and I was unable to attend. Hopefully I can participate in 2022. Based on what I learned from reading poetry and the workshops, I have reworked the following collection. Someday I hope to self publish or try a few competitions. Here they are:

About

As the saying goes: “A jack of all trades is a master of none, but often times better than a master of one.” I like to experiment in many creative forms, professionally as a software engineer and for fun I have experimented with Photography, Pottery, Writing (prose and poetry). My current big experiment is Printmaking. I am the owner of D.M. Penny Press, a printmaking studio in Manchester NH. The studio has been in operation since 2015 and I do offer limited memberships for experienced prinkmakers looking for access to a press and other equipment.
