I've been working on variations of this Trilogy for some time. It became part of what turned into an ongoing memoir, when my lives, and lives of my characters could all catch the very same Train. However, it wasn't unitl the Tsunami hit Japan, when something was released that kept me slamming away at the keyboard day and night. I had not anticipated that it would also lead me to my dream-train, the magical Newfie Bullet, and it's there I bring myself and the poems I still carry after all these years. The more I write, the less division between my life and my writing. Still riding the same rails after so many years - only the stations are changing. And now, as the completed Trilogy arrives in the station. It starts with this volume.
