Frank Paske

Raised in the rough and tumble of a coal mining town Frank savored adventure early on , playing tag in the decaying Mansions of the wealthy coal moguls or being chased from the Hobo camps they often tried to visit there wasn't much chance for boredom, due to illness in the family he decided to join the Army at seventeen and ended up being shipped to Korea where the Orient would play it's magic and begin to change his outlook towards life after returning to America his thirst to know it's land and peoples would only deepen so we meet some of the women he loved ,or the mystics he met, and some of the surprises like finding himself in a secret Sufi center , or Hiking the Appalachian trail with an eighty-six year old boy scout leader who had three wives, while his poetry unfolds to express the rhythm of the times and finally ending up sitting on a zafu (meditation pillow) in Oregon putting it all together."
