"...not afraid of anything."
Poetry is a way of engaging the unknown and the frightful. Beginning at the age of  13 (1946), i committed myself on a course of study to be a Roman Catholic priest of a religious order. Eleven years later, two years from Ordination, the conviction settled on me the the Roman Catholic Priesthood was not where i belonged
So...religion-wise, where did i belong? My science interests tended me in a direction toward the mutuality of faith and reason, of theology informed in science.
Thirty years later, more wise in the ways of the world, it became clear to me that poetry was probably the most sensible language in which to have religion and science engage each other. The product of that new venture was nine chap-books of poetry which i called "Eden's Lifework Poetree - The Poetree Trilogies", 1999, that can be read at www.evolution101.org
