Background from the Author
In March of 2009, I made a surprising discovery: a forgotten cache of about fifty unpublished poems written during the development of Iron Man Family Outing that I'd chosen not to include in the book.  I'm currently in the process of editing what I consider to be the best of these "outtakes" (titles of which are listed below) and plan to post them on this page as they become available.
