Description

This book of poems and song lyrics covers over 20 years of living and creating in New York City. I live in the East Village section of Manhattan. The poem themes are summed up in the subtitle - Love. Nature. Song. In particular, I wrote a few poems/songs about NYC and the effects of gentrification. I have been writing poems since I was a child and then switched to writing songs for many years during my music career. Around 10 years ago I retired from show business and traveled/backpacked the world. Upon returning to NYC I started to write more classic style poetry. I also went back to college and grad school to earn two degrees and became a teacher. My nickname is Sto and thus Sto-etry! Enjoy!
