George
wrote his first poem when he was 13 years old. He recalls it was a limerick,
inspired by reading Ogden Nash. He tells us that he also enjoyed reading
Japanese haiku at this time, and experimented with writing poems in this
style.
In
his most prolific period of composing poems from 1978 to 1980, George
wrote seven volumes of poetry. During this period, he founded the RAND
Poetry Club at the RAND Corporation in Santa Monica, California. He edited
three volumes of Pearls:The Journal of the RAND Poetry Club.
Some
of George's poems have appeared in poetry anthologies. He was recognized
for his work by inclusion in the 1992 edition of Who's Who in Poetry.
Influences
on George's Work
We
glimpse the multi-hued threads of George's mystic journey in his poetry.
He teaches us of realms of mystery and wonder. He conveys profound spiritual
insights. He shares the joy and anguish of the spiritual path.
As
we wend our way through the turns of his verse, we find themes that have
come from his spiritual studies with the Master Maha Genii, Satguru Balyogeshwar
Paramahansa, and Sant Darshan Singh.
