About this ebook
Edwin Rolf
Edwin Rolf, the writer, and poet of renown, emerged o’er many decades from a tiny little town ‘midst the cornfields of Ohio where he played a mean trombone in high school and in college in bands and all alone. He became a Navy pilot and flew for five whole years, then settled in a valley with siliconic seers. He’s marketed computer stuff for years that he can’t count. He’s dabbled in the arts to seek a different mount. Then several years ago, into his addled mind, the verses started flowing of every shape and kind. He scribbles them on paper in the middle of the night; then puts them on his laptop to make them come out right. So when they did accumulate in numbers quid pro tem, Xlibris ads convinced him that he should publish them!
