Nolo Segundo
The real name of the poet, who prefers the pen name, 'Nolo Segundo' (which in Latin means: 'I don't want to be second') is L. J. Carber, a retired teacher in his 70's now who has led a peaceful life since his marriage 40 years ago. But his 20's were more like Dicken's '...the best of times, the worst of times...'At 20 he went to England for his junior year abroad at the University of Manchester. At 23 he studied at the London Film School-- he has always loved the movies-- but for some reason, perhaps due in part to the end of a love affair, he dropped out, came back to America and suffered a major clinical depression and a total nervous breakdown wherein he stopped eating, sleeping, and even emoting, and soon he shooked like an old man with Parkinson's disease. Fearing being commtted to an asylum for the rest of his life, he jumped off a bridge into a Vermont river. |
