Personal Note:
Many people know my situation; so I will address it briefly here. My wife, poet Susan Atefat-Peckham’s recent death in an auto accident in Jordan, an accident that also claimed the life of my oldest son, Cyrus, has been an ordeal not just for us, but for many people. I am picking up the pieces of my life with my surviving son Darius at a new job and a new place as I try to put Susan’s last ms together from the pieces she left behind, and recover from the injuries I suffered in the crash. We are doing well and getting stronger each day. Darius is growing into a magical, happy child. And I am growing with him. I am thankful for all the people who have been supportive through my grieving process. I only hope that people can be as supportive of our moving on process.
Update (January, 2008): Some very happy news. I am married to Rachael Pridgeon (Now Peckham). We had a beautiful ceremony in Coldwater MI.
Update (March, 2008:More Happy News. My new poetry book, The Heat of What Comesis now available from amazon.com. To order, click HERE
