After several poems in the late sixties, I quit writing for nearly thirty years, beginning again a couple of years ago after ending one career and before starting another. Since then I've had work in a number of on-line and print journals, including Neiderngasse, The Melic Review, The Green Tricycle, The Horsethief's Journal, Beatnik, Avant Garde Times, Eclectica, Maelstrom, The Poet's Canvas, the ShallowEnd and others.

I write in a lot of different styles, with humor an element in many of my poems. While I don't usually aim at great depth in my work, I do look for insight. The greatest reward for a poet is the attention of a reader. I welcome comments from readers at my email address, allenitz@aol.com."
