What is the aim or goal of your writing: Persistance. Artistically driven. Poetry has not been my career, but rather my vocation. I always smile when I say this, because I went to a catholic school and the nuns who taught me always stressed the difference between an occupation and a vocation. An occupation is what you choose to do and it allows you to make a living and pay the bills, but a vocation is what God has chosen for you to do. Doug credits his 7th grade poetry anthology from Sister Debra's English class, Reflections On A Gift Of Watermelon Pickle And Other Modern Verse, (Stephen Dunning, Edward Lueders and Hugh Smith, (c) 1966 by Scott Foresman & Company) as exerting the greatest influence on his work.
