Thin Wizzard Ward

More about the book

I wrote this book of pages of poetry during my upper class college years attending Portland State U. I was majoring in biology education (about 1975). But I was hanging out at what I call a salon of a friend named Elizabeth. The zs of the title come from her name. Thin Lizzy was popular at the time but I didnt want to use the whole name. So I came up with Thin Wizzard. Ward I suppose because everyone (especially me) abides around hospital wards. Also Ward is an ancestral name of the family, so it felt personal to me.I have written four of these books of poetry. Poetry for lack of a better description; pages of poetry with titles up where they normally appear in poetry, after the last line of the last page and near the top. I edited out any swear words with bleeps. Otherwise they are true to their original creation 33 years ago. They get shuffled around a typed, punctuated in part, word processed, data processed, printed, and who knows what next! Elementally they were penned to be read. From me to you. Have fun!
