for Finn - with Finn

"for Finn – with Finn" Finn is Ike's grandson now 6 years old. He loves writing unexpected stories with pictures, featuring daily his favorite species of the week. Producing almost weekly a stapled Chapbook of Pokémon events or animal stories. Sometimes quiet and reserved. Sometimes he is noisy and full of fun. Laughing with his older brother. Embracing his mummy tight. "How much I love that boy", says his father, Ike's son. This book is about Ike's grandson Finn…and his irritating poet granddad Ike…who writes as if he never was a child.

Yes, it was as late as 2016 (at the age of 77) when Ike was participating in a poetry slam that he realized that he was actually never young…just another surviving collateral damage dealing more with his past (he hates history as it repeats itself) rather than spending quality time with his grandsons Finn and Milo.

Eike enjoyed a twofold career as ballet dancer in my native Germany and as an US based international engineering designer and international electronics industry consultant (US citizen since 1995). Between these careers, he studied fine art and industrial design at the Royal College of Art in London (MdesRCA). 1984 he immigrated to CA. After the events of 911, he became active as a concerned citizen and begun to write and perform poetry about what he saw and heard. See www.f-artstatements.com
