Gary Beaumier I am 66 years old, a retired teacher and occasional boat builder. Every morning I obsess over making the perfect cup of coffee and every day I walk Lake Michigan's western shore. Once a month I teach poetry to women in prison. I began writing poetry to harvest memories and glean insights from my experience, finding in the construction of each poem a kind of meditation.
