Nolo Segundo

Nolo Segundo, pen name of L.j. Carber, became a published poet and essayist in over 200 literary journals in 16 countries in his 8^th decade. A retired teacher [America, Japan, Taiwan, the war zone of Cambodia, 1973-74], he has been nominated for the Pushcart and thrice for Best of Net. Cyberwit.net has published 3 poetry books: The Enormity of Existence [2020]; Of Ether and Earth [2021]; and Soul Songs [2022]. The titles reflect an awareness gained when he had an NDE whilst nearly drowning in a Vermont river: that he has—IS—a consciousness predating birth and surviving death, what poets since Plato have called the soul. Nolo recommends Doctors without Borders.
