About the Author
Gail Darlien Henderson Hart was born in 1945 in Toronto, Canada. She was one of six children, four girls and two boys. Her father worked, for the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), but there was never enough money to make ends meet. Her siblings were born between 1943 and 1966, a 23-year span. Her poor Mother had little time for raising children, just time for chores. The best you could say is that it was a very hard life, like so many others in that period had. The worst times were caused by her father's Alcohol Abuse, toward her Mom and the three oldest children, herself and her two brothers. Those times were Hell for them all.
Gail is not well traveled, in fact has never left her home Province of Ontario, only once, to go to Buffalo, NY.
In her mid-fifties she suffered a Brain Bleed (a ruptured AVM). This near- death experience made Mrs. Hart very much aware of her own mortality and compelled her to look more closely at her existence. She began to write down some of her thoughts and opinions.
Over the years, she has written many verses about birth, death, and family. Her writings are sometimes morbid but always truthful.
Now twenty years later, she has come on financial hard times. And remembering that two decades earlier, she had recorded a lot of her thoughts, opinions, observations, and stories in verse. She now hopes to help herself by having them published in a book of verses.
Because of her ill health, she did not fictionalize her poems, opinions, observations or true- life depictions, needing them to represent her inner self.
She has many such stories and tales; and hopes she has made as accurate a representation as possible in recollecting her true-life events.
This whole procedure has cost her a good deal of money; but it has also given her an opportunity to keep busy during co-vid, and it was something that she got a great deal of pleasure doing.
We hope she has found some peace in her own words.
