I thought being an alchemist's apprentice would lead to a boring life. How wrong was I! I was drawn in to a war between the Ogre king and an Ogre Warlord in the Mountains of Kalth. A curse had been unleashed on the kings Ogres and we went to help. Now I was surviving against Ogres, serpents, night terrors and a girl called Beth who happened to be a demon. Would I change anything? Not a chance!Bibliotechnica consists of twenty-five poems on libraries in a world of increasing change and automation, not always for the better, as observed by a bemused and not altogether unbiased participant. Read warily, or you might find them amusing — and read straight through. The effect is cumulative. The poet is a life-long Californian who has worked for the past quarter century in the Stanford University Libraries. He is a founding member of the San Francisco Bay area writers’ group Spilt Ink, author of numerous essays, poems and short stories, a play, and an aspiring novelist. This is his first ebook.
