Near the end of his life

Lacking inspiration

He was playing his lute.

Andrew Ladak

After more than 25 years in marketing and corporate communications, Andy retired early to pursue other passions--in particular, teaching, but also art and writing. Although he dabbled in poetry while in college, he didn't take it up again until a few years ago. Most of his poems reflect his experiences in Vietnam. Currently Andy teaches technical writing at a community college. He has also resumed his long-neglected hobby of painting and drawing.

Anna Randazzo
