Quite a ride you've had so far, but it looks like you are back in the saddle and I truly hope you stay there - I imagine as much as poetry can be healing, it also can drudge up memories that might be better off left buried. <br /><br />Thank again, Sherry , for making each interview unique and interesting.

Great to get to know more about Sam.<br /><br />I think addicts are usually the most sensitive souls, and this seems to be borne out in Sam's case - a man so unashamedly in touch with his emotions.<br /><br />It's inspiring, Sam, to read of your life and values, and all the things you have done.Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-35119092002782348312013-09-03T01:16:23.730-04:002013-09-03T01:16:23.730-04:00Wow, Sam, you share a lot here.

What I've learned about addiction is that to leave the product behind, you have to want something else very very much. And your poems! Nice to have plain-speak wrapped around all edges that you navigate. Glad to meet you.

I am impressed that you were a prospector at one time and also a Karate champion. I admire the kind of poetry you write....about coming to grips with yourself. It takes a person who knows himself to do that. Loved reading about your relationship with your wife & your new (and beautiful) little one. So great to have you as part of our poetry community. Good luck with your Amazon chapbook, Sam. Always good to see you around Poets United and other haunts in the blogosphere.<br /><br />Sherry, another great interview!
