Author's Bio

Bob McNeil, writer, editor, cartoonist, and spoken word artist, is the author of Verses of Realness (https://tinylink.net/muF6C). Hal Sirowitz, a former Queens, NY Poet Laureate, called the book “a fantastic trip through the mind of a poet who doesn’t flinch at the truth.” Among Bob’s recent accomplishments, he found working on Lyrics of Mature Hearts to be a humbling experience because of the anthology’s talented contributors. Copies of that collection are available here: https://tinyurl.com/3s2avap5.  Furthermore, Flexible Press (https://tinyurl.com/mrhrrps7) published his book composed of essays, illustrations, poems, and stories titled Compositions on Compassion and Other Emotions.  Proceeds go to the National Alliance to End Homelessness.
