Stuart P. Radowitz uses poems to create pictures that inspire us to explore our relationships with the natural world, to our inner selves, and to each other.  Stuart’s first book, Snow Hangs on the Branches of Evergreens, and his second book, The Simple Changes, were published by Blue Light Press.  His travels have influenced much of his writing, and he has been published in a wide array of literary journals and anthologies.  In another life, Stuart was an instructor in the English department at Molloy University, teaching creative writing.  He currently lives with his wife Sherry, Violet the cat, his hybrid turtle, Mr. T., and his giant 60lb. tortoise, Snuffy.  He continues to look at nature as a canvas for spirituality and a portal to our souls.
