A well crafted life is like a good poem, what is omitted tells others every bit as much about you as what is added in.
— Eric Vance Walton

Poetry was the path that began Eric's semi-professional writing career. In the early nineties his first poem entitled, German Village, was published by the legendary Fred Holdridge in the German Village Gazette newspaper in his hometown of Columbus, Ohio.  Eric's poetry has since been published widely in literary journals, magazines, and in book form
