INTRODUCTION




Nocturnal Omissions is my collected poetry written between 1982 and 1985.  Then I was single and mindless dancing through my mid twenties when poetry found me pursuing girls, the next wave, and my first novel.  It was an age when Herpes was the scariest STD and AIDS was only a shadow on distant horizon.
    
Originally titled Nocturnal Emissions, which at the time seemed clever, but upset my mother, it was appropriate since wrote late at night.  When not to drunk or stoned, or with a girlfriend for some time, I emitted these short poems.


It is seldom I can read my work without editing it.  Initially I began this project only to digitize those precious yellowing papers.  Since then I have rediscovered writing and what a game, like solitaire, it is.
