My major influences are my experiences through life as I have led a quite interesting and colorful one.I was born in Newark New Jersey, Lived in Brooklyn N.Y., I have watched the trade center being built as a young man and I watched them fall also. That I still cannot believe! I have been a member of the International Library of Poetry for fifteen years, since they didn't have a web site. Some of my poetry is in the Library of Congress and was invited to meet the president when George Bush was in office and recieved a silver medal for poetry at that time. What a wonderful experience. I wrote lyrics for N.Y. area bands SIX FEET UNDER and SNATCH. I sang down the shore in N.J. and became friends with Bruce Springsteen and South Side Johnny where we met in the Stone Pony. I have been influenced by them and most importantly my father who was an entertainer all his life. I am the last of my kind for my parents are gone and I have lost three brothers and my first wife. I do however have a wonderful wife now of twenty five years. God Bless her because without her I don't know where I would be today. We have lost two chidren.I was at Rutgers U. for two years for literature but found I wanted to be outside. I went back to tech. schools and worked for the Envirormental Protection Agency as a combustion efficiency expert to try to keep our air clean. It was an uphill battle and still is. I owned an oil business and a night club in Lodi N.J. I am now retired at 47 from complications of diabetes. I live in Chandler Arizona now and have more time for my writing.I sometimes am invited to sing gospel at a major non denominational parish when they give benifit concerts. I have sung for as many as three thousand people at a time and have been recorded on C.D. for the concerts and on C.D. for my lyrics and poetry. I have had a hard but sometimes very satisfying life so far to date.I love God and my country. I have lost many friends at the trade center on top of it all, now you know where I get my inspirations for my work. Pain opens the flood gates. I hope you enjoy my poetry and God Bless.

My wife and I have a web site where she paints hand made desk sets for the P.C. A mouse pad and wrist pad, also jars for pens and pencils that look vert nice. I make hand made plaques with my poetry or yours on decorated stationary with a thick plastic cover over your work. They come out beautifully and are very professional. They make wonderful presents and keep sakes that will last forever. I sell them at craft shows as Arizona is very big on those shows. Our work and examples can be found at the link on the bottom of my page. Thanks for listening, because I think this is the most I have ever talked about myself! If you want to spruce up your P.C. with the desk sets or a plaque on your wall please check out the link. Thanks. Gregory L sonn
