Poetry at Eastrose
Poet Laureate of Eastrose Fellowship.
Arden
and his (second) wife Edie discovered a small group of Unitarians meeting
in Portland, in 1956. When
the group formalized and became Eastrose, they were founding members.
Relationships
dissolve and re-group. Arden met and married Lilian in 1973.
It was a wonderful marriage, but in 1998, Lilian died of lung cancer. Arden,
an electrical engineer, retired from the Bonneville Power Administration
in 1976, and has devoted much of his time to writing poems, stories, plays,
letters to the editors, "and more". He describes himself as
a dogmatic atheist, with an inspiration to be a good person. That
inspiration, he considers, developed along with conscience during the millions
of years of human evolution. |
