Synopsis

These poems were culled from my writings of the past thirty years. Sorting through them, I noticed that many were about my childhood; I decided this would be the theme for a book. "Getting Above Myself" was my first title: it meant three things to me: a warped childhood notion of "the greatest crime one could commit", an ironic take on the same idea and finally, the perspective needed to see clearly the events I was writing about. This seemed too complicated to convey in just a title. Next I thought of "Growing Up" - plain, straightforward, but also imprecise. I am neither social worker nor psychologist. What I have to share is my personal experience. So, "Growing Up Me". The thirty-eight poems in this book cover a period from my birth through high school. The chronology is rough; there are thematic groupings along the way.
