About the author

Richard Aston's great-grandfather immigrated from Wales to Pennsylvania as a coal miner in 1857 and ten of his other relatives worked as bricklayers and builders in the Wyoming Valley. Several were killed on the job. His father, having worked as a builder through the depression of the 1930s encouraged him to follow in his mother's footsteps, so Aston spent twenty-seven years in the classroom teaching. He has been publishing poems for over thirty years in many different journals, anthologies and art catalogs. He also shares poems orally, and often by recitation. He also does technical writing, published as three textbooks and numerous professional engineering papers.
