Leroy KruseLeRoy Kruse isn't just a poet; he is a storyteller shaped by the triumphs and trials of a life well-lived. Born the middle child in a family of seven, LeRoy discovered his passion for writing as a young boy, often retreating to a secret place and plaing the thought he had written on paper and placing it under a rock.LeRoy's life journey is as diverse as his experiences. From walking barefoot to school as a child to serving in military, where he guarded aircraft with a 10-pound radio, his path has been anything but ordinary. After his time in the military, he pursued education at a local community college and later found solace in nature as a golf course manager, a role he likened to farming-a job he deeply enjoyed.For over 20 years, LeRoy honed his craft, even contributing articles to the country club where he worked. But it wasn't until a painful divorce ended his 14-year marriage that he fully embraced writing as a means to heal and reflect.Through his poetry and prose, LeRoy shares the raw beauty of life-the joy and sorrow, the love and loss-that unites us all. His work invites readers to see that life's meaning lies in the delicate balance of its highs and lows, and it's this duality that makes us truly human.LeRoy is honored to share his journey with you, hoping his words will inspire, comfort, and resonate long after you turn the final page.
