About the Author
Tony is a retired Marine Warrant Officer now teaching in the North Carolina Public
School System. He is a graduate of East Carolina University and is certified to teach
Mathematics, Language Arts, and Reading. An Aquarian, Tony has an immense love for
his fellow man and nature. It is this caring spirit that inspires his poems. Often crediting his
work to- A Voice from Nowhere- he acknowledges the power of a gift. One he longs to
share with others.
"I often write under pen names. Many of my poems are credited to -A Voice from
Nowhere-. It seems apropos because the words come to me from a place I cannot define.
Some of them are crafted, sure. The ones that come from a thought and many hours
digging in the thesaurus to find the exact word I am looking for, but it is the ones that flow
from my mind to my pen and out onto the parchment ,without conscious thought, that I am
most proud of and most reluctant to take credit for. They are of me but somehow it seems
as if they are not by me." 
Not restricted to poetry, Tony has written a produced play, published short stories, poetry,
historical research articles and is currently writing his first novel.
