John Cooper is an 86 year old widower, living in a retirement village on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, Australia.
During his working life he was mainly self employed in various businesses, and also in management positions.
Over the years he has from time to time put pen to paper, more for his own amusement rather than as a serious literary effort.
When given the task of proposing, or responding to a Toast, John have found that a poem written for the occasion could be easier to deliver than a long boring speech.
John describes his poetic writings more along the lines of “Australian Bush Poetry” rather than “Contemporary English Literature”.
The death of Vicky, his wife for over sixty five years on the 1st May 2022, has prompted the writing of a number of poems that John claims have assisted him with the grieving process. “Putting ’Pen to Paper’ it has helped me express my feelings much more adequately than I am able to do verbally”.
