About The Author

Alan R Quam.

He wrote his first poem at ten years old. He has not really stopped since. 

For nineteen years he worked in maintenance, and the people he worked beside had no idea he wrote poetry. He wrote anyway, about his wife, his town, his faith, and the strangers he passed each day.

Writing From the Heart

Some people write to be remembered. He writes to make a stranger’s day a little better.

He writes quickly, often finishing a poem in about five minutes, and he writes plainly. The poems rhyme, they are easy to read, and they tend to stay with people longer than expected.
