Broken Down Palace; The Poems: A collection of poetry and song lyrics (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798395873323)

This collection of poetry was written in my first apartment (a rundown hovel chopped into small apartments) near the University of Minnesota. It began during the winter of 1967 when I had just started working at KTCA public television. It finally tapered out around the spring of 1970.

I had just come back from a self-imposed exile to Europe to find myself. That lasted about six months before snow and freezing temperatures dragged my defeated soul back to Minnesota. With a regular day job as a writer at the Minnesota Department of Public Health and a part-time (free) gig every evening at the television station, I was finally beginning to find my footing.
I was writing on the side and drifting through relationships searching for what I didn't know. The poetry and song lyrics came easily as I tried to express in words the jumble of emotions surging through my head most days. It started to dissipate when I found the one and began to get more focused on her and our future together.

This is just a small compilation of numerous tablets of poetry and song lyrics that I wrote before setting them aside for fifty plus years.

Perhaps it's time to set them free.
