There is something to be said for having hobbies which you love, like gardening or writing poetry. Anything which you can put your passion into. All the better if you have more than one! Ron Wiseman is an English Professor who retired to tend his garden, but found his love for poetry so strong it caused him to form a group on the poetry website AllPoetry called the Winklings. They would publish anthologies of the best poems they could find on that website. Ron was the editor and funded most of the production. More recently, he founded the International Poetry Fellowship to produce such books well beyond the scope of his skills and lifetime. Not until now has he ever been convinced to publish anything exclusively of his own work
