About the Book

A Life Lived Remembered in Poetry and Prose by Roger G. Kidston gives us unforgettable word pictures of 78 truth seeking years from the Great Depression to his twilight years. Kidston reveals both his joys and his sorrows - from the death of his mother, whose last phone call was accidently misdirected, divorce, the loss of all of his biological children, his joy writing poems -his word children - and adult relationships. Each poem reveals yet another facet of Kidston's life further illuminated with accompanying prose. Kidston writes with complete candor concerning both quiet desperation and achievement. His writing is a testament to his strength, courage and resilience arising from his loneliness after divorce, the loss of his children and his thus far successful battle with cancer, chronic pain and congestive heart failure. Beautifully written, and filled with warmth, heart and feeling, A Life Lived offers a glimpse into the world of a most unique individual who celebrates the miracle of being and lives, loves, and laughs each and every day.
About the Author: Roger G. Kidston is a 1956 graduate of the University Of Michigan College Of Literature, Science and the Arts and its Law School. After a tour of duty with the U S Marine Corps, he served briefly as an assistant prosecuting attorney. He then joined an established law firm. After years of frustration with traditional practice methods, he established his own general practice law firm. In addition to diverse private clients, his municipal practice included numerous school districts, the local community college and various public institutions. He served in a variety of political and community activities, including almost twenty years of service as the president of an alternative health foundation. His writing reflects his travel by land, sea and air - a licensed commercial pilot with a variety of aircraft and boats as well as his faithful Indian Chief 74. Architecture, construction, computers, farming, flying, golfing, sailing and much more are all mirrored in Kidston's words. His professional and personal experiences provided a lifetime quest concerning God, values, relationships, divorce, the plight of children, health practices, death, caring, romance, laughter and the other stuff of real people. Words have power and Kidston writes with the throttle wide open. So climb aboard for an inspiring word trip.
