| Introduction | Poet, Painter and retired counselor/consultant. To find my paintings, simply Google "Ed Coletti's Photostream." For almost ten years, I also published Ed Coletti's P3 but tired of the political side of that. Social media now suffices. Poetry and Art are more central to my being. I'm writing every day and attempting to write great poems. Lately, I'm much taken with the adage, "The poem is important, the poet is not." I also am pleased to discover growing appreciation for my fiction. Most recent poetry collections include When Hearts Outlive Minds (2011), Germs, Viruses and Catechisms (2013), The Problem With Breathing (2015) Forthcoming in 2017: Apollo Blue's Harp and The Gods of Song. |

That can't really be a fish you're standing on, can it?
No, actually it's a "wish."
