Poetry To Inspire

I had the honor to meet Roy Fitch Sr this week. His daughter brought his poetry to my attention and I was inspired. I thought what a great way to celebrate father’s this week! Roy is a person just like you and me and his thoughts and emotions are real. I think he is an inspiration to dads everywhere and a pretty funny guy. I think you’ll agree. I have the full interview and some of his poetry here for you to hear and enjoy!

If you want a copy of Roy’s book, it’s titled “What I See When I Close My Eyes” and available a Xulonpress.com, barnesandnoble.com, Amazon.com, Googlebooks.com or by contacting Roy at rlf@virginia.edu, 434-806-1802 or 434-296-0015.

Happy Father’s Day!
