I didn’t expect recording a poem would be such a challenge. While visiting Aidan, my son who lives in North Bay, I took a first step on the road to recording audiobooks of my poetry.

In a poem called Andrea del Sarto, Robert Browning wrote, "Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, / Or what's a heaven for?" This nicely sums up my pursuit of a life-long reach to craft poetry, short stories, a play, and more recently, novels.
