About the Book

Uplifting yet hard-hitting poems on the aging process--the joys and pains to make the journey richer. This is Gary R Kirby's 4th volume of poetry and a dozen books in other genres. He likes to think that nature sings through him, since inspiration is still a mystery.
About the Author: I am a boy dreamer. Masquerading as a logical adult-I wrote a college text, Thinking. I received two masters, and then got a PhD in English Renaissance Literature from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. I have taught at the University of Illinois at Chicago; McMurry University in Abilene, Texas; Villa Maria College (now Gannon University) in Erie, Pennsylvania; and recently I retired pro temp (I love it so much, it still calls me) from Gateway Technical College in the Wisconsin Technical College System. Next to teaching and being surrounded by Nature, I love writing. Hopefully my books will show that: My first adventure was myth and magic with The Karjill ( a quest to restore order from chaos) and The Wizard (a coming of age of a boy growing to face dark forces). Then Sow the Storm (an adventure/danger/challenge of the young and bright against the abusing global power structure). I rashly wrote a poetical overview of human folly, God: an autobiography. I hopefully showed the cleansing power of nature in The Other Edge of Beauty. Then the 2000 election fired up my patriotic spirit and I wrote: America, the takeback, followed by a strong wake-up call to action in: Bridge Out: full speed ahead. That book ended with founding an organization: TheEarthAct.org which has a simple, profound, doable plan to deal with the environmental and economic crises. Sounds delusory, but it is logical (refer to Thinking, above, and check it out yourself). A book of 136 children's stories followed with a name just as big-Stories of Sunshine and Funtime, Wonder and Thunder, Mystery and Magic for the Young to Grow On-whew. Then my lifetime accumulation of my poetry, 1300 poems written when life kissed me on the cheek or kicked me in the groin-both needed, welcomed, and thanked for the poems they yielded in Broken Bits of the Rainbow. Finally, I have written three recent volumes of poetry, most of the poems written in the last three years. I hope The Vintage Path has wisdom that sings to you.
