Terry Edmonds is a New York poet who developed a love for language and poetry as a young boy growing up in the projects of Baltimore. Since the 1980s, he has been an active member of the poetry community in both cities. His first two chapbooks, Thank God for the Lowlife and To Hear This Message Again Press Ten, were published in 1989 and 1990, respectively. His writing passion led to a more than 45-year career as a public relations specialist and executive speechwriter, including serving as chief speechwriter for President Bill Clinton. For the past five years, Terry has been an active member of New York’s Riverside Poets workshop and his poems have appeared in the group’s annual anthologies. He lives in New York’s Upper Westside with his partner, Wendy Levine, who also illustrated this book.
