Roger Maderia was an Elementary School teacher for 35 years in the town of Wilmington, MA. He always enjoyed poetry and tried to incorporate some of this enjoyment into his teaching. In his retirement, he has tried to use verse in song writing, label making, and story telling. He considers VERSABILITY as the ability to put other things into verse and works at this diligently. As the father of fi ve and grandfather of twelve, he now has a new audience for his poetry. With his Books of Th ings, he hopes to make that audience much larger.
