About Me

About me

I've been reading and writing poems for 50 years; Neopoet seems like a great way connect with other poets and enjoy the sharing. For a pen name I choose that of Eumolpus, the poet in The Satyricon by Petronius during the time of Nero; an age very similar now!
I am also a musician on nylon string guitar and I use a combination of classical, samba, and jazz playing at readings, which makes a unique poetry experience.
I speak French well, and some Spanish (enough to enjoy translation) I'm working on a book translating Paul Eluard. Poetry is the closest thing I have to a religion.
