Did someone say it couldn't be done?

At age seventy-five, with no email, no Wi-Fi or computer, and only pencil and paper as his tools of the trade, from his one-bedroom apartment in Troy, New York, Michol started creating poems. Modern Poems seemed to take shape one poem at a time. Michol let his creativity flow as he crafted poems about holidays, seasons, and other themes.

Putting his heart and mind to work, he discovered a poet living inside him, screaming to come out. Drawing from his previous experiences, Modern Poems inspires us with a clever, whimsical and tender look at some things that may have lost their meaning in the rush of life today.

Michol humbly presents his first book, Modern Poems, to you. His prayer is that this work will capture your heart in such a way that you will say, "It's never too late for me."

"For decades, I've known my friend, Michol, to be a man of many talents. A bricoleur, you might say. So it comes as no surprise that his first foray into the world of poetry would produce this magnificent collection!"
