Selections taken from "Poems Under the Sun," A collection of original poems

About the Author
Christiansen began writing lyrics for songs in his teens and eventually branched out into the pure word, and has kept the two separate ever since, with a couple of exceptions. Influences include a host of old and new poets, too numerous to mention. He draws inspiration wherever he finds himself, and from whatever he finds himself doing. He's lived in California, Texas, and Oklahoma, but now resides in western New York state.
