Tom Greening, PhD, began writing poetry 70 years ago and has been unable to stop, despite being a busy psychotherapist in the same office for 58 years, editor of the Journal of Humanistic Psychology for decades, and professor at Saybrook, Pepperdine, and UCLA. An admirer of rhyming couplets by Shakespeare, Chaucer, Frost, Pope, Ogden Nash, etc., he has also occasionally been caught writing blank verse. A second, enlarged edition of his Poems For and About Elders is in press, as is an illustrated collection for children titled About Some Animals, endorsed by his dachshund. His collection, Words Against the Void, did not fill it, so a second edition is in press. See less
