However, nothing could be further from the truth.

Rather than a poet, I consider myself more of a storyteller who prefers to work in verse.  It is a time-honored tradition, championed by such masters as Homer, Longfellow, and Dr. Seuss. As far as I'm concerned, telling a good story is everything.

Therefore, I challenge you to discard any preconceived notions you might have regarding poetry, select a title that intrigues you, and give it a try.  It won't cost you anything and you  might be pleasantly surprised.

"A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language."

~W. H. Auden

All writers deserve the opportunity to be published without suffering financially, emotionally, or spiritually.  Fortunately, the popularity of e.Books offers a unique opportunity for any writer to self-publish and distribute their work free of the financial and editorial constraints.  We have collected e.publishing resources from all over the internet.  Everything listed is offered free of charge by the developers and was used by Kenn to publish his e.books on Smashwords and Amazon.com.
