About Kevin

I am not old, but getting close enough to feel spurred on by some favorite lines from a favorite poet:
​
"An aged man is but a paltry thing,
A tattered coat upon a stick, unless
Soul clap its hands and sing, and louder sing
For every tatter in its mortal dress."
                                        -Yeats, "Sailing to Byzantium"

Even in my early years at college, I loved these lines from Yeats.  Now into my 60s, I find them profoundly inspiring.  My poetry is me clapping my hands and singing.  ​
