In my first book of poetry and prose, The Learning Process, Iexplored many themes. For my second book, A Life in Orbit, Idetermined to try something novel and new: a biography in verse. Itwas a daunting project because I had to revisit my past andtranslate my thoughts and memories into a discipline of words,lines and verses. I was handicapped to an extent by the restraintsimposed by the narrative style. I had to write truthfully, andwithout embellishment in four-line stanzas, within the time spanand framework of eleven periods of my life. These periods variedboth dramatically and traumatically, but I averaged around fortyverses for each period. This book dates from 1932 to 2012. Thecharacters include my parents, siblings, relatives, friends,teachers at school and university, teaching associates, travellingcompanions, poets, personal friends, as well as personalities andpolitical figures of the times. I have suffered, but I have alsotriumphed. Here is my story in prose. Ken W. Simpson was brought upin South Camberwell, a Melbourne suburb in the Australian state ofVictoria. He taught art and crafts in technical schools for fifteenyears before retiring. "I began writing short stories until Idiscovered my love for poetry." His first book The Learning Processwas published by Strategic two years ago. He lives with his familyin Lysterfield, suburban Melbourne. Publisher's website:http://sbpra.com/KenWSimpson
