Richard A. Cardner

The author was raised in rural upstate New York. After graduating from high school he attended

colleges in Philadelphia and Cambridge.

This book is the author’s first publication of poetry. He

has written poetry, off and on, starting in the 70’s because he likes the challenge of sound,

meaning and structure.

He is an educator who has worked in public schools as a counselor and

in colleges as a Critical Thinking teacher. Being a Sunday School facilitator has occupied him

over the past 10 years and he has led parenting groups in schools and prisons. In public school

he taught Driver Education. He attributes his gray beard to this last job.

He lives in NH with his wife; his three children and five grandchildren live nearby. Genealogy, singing, investing and family gatherings are among his interests.
