Paul L DrydenPaul started writing poetry while still at a young age to cope with a traumatic event; poetry has since become an integral part of his life. He was encouraged by friends and family to gather his writings together in this collection, his first publishd work.

Paul lives with his wife and sons in Ontario, Canada. Read More Read Less
