Talking with My Father, 93, While Reading the Sunday Paper over Breakfast, Distinguishing the First from the Second Time

Homo Vitruvius represents my literary face to the world while I work on novels behind the scenes. Dedicated to the essay form, both personal and intellectual, with forays into creative nonfiction, poetry, fiction, and more, it is my weekly creative engagement with the world. Every subscriber, free or paid, is appreciated and valued. As I say, you read; therefore, the writer exists. But if you can afford the paid subscription, that encouragement and support of my work and what I offer here delivers an affirmation almost beyond my ability to express in words. Thank you for reading.
