"Reminiscences" is an attempt to recapture some impressions and experiences of my early years during and after wartime Germany, as well as the years after immigration to the U.S. .

"Writings" consists of my short fiction works. Having read and analyzed a number of short stories in a literature class, I thought I might write some of my own as an exercise in self-expression, and began doing so early in 2004. Then one of the entries ("Aeolian Laments") became a cycle of verses, and I changed the title of the section from "Short Stories" to "Writings". Over time, I seem to have found greater expressiveness in verses, and so more and more of my writing is in that form.
