Variations in Verse
Summary
My writing enables me to reach beyond the limitations of my multiple sclerosis. I have suffered this illness for over 30 years, having many relapses during that time. But when I write I am transported from the mundane into the realms of delight and wonder be it poetry or novel, I'm far too busy to be ill. Please listen and enjoy!
