“Beyond the Road” is JT Curran’s first published volume of poetry. Selected from collected works which span over fifty years, JT’s poetry blends colorful observations with thought-provoking reflections. With wit, compassion, irony, and humor, this book invites the reader to consider the signposts, off-ramps, co-travelers and vistas which populate our journeys. JT’s words reminds us that however we may navigate our experiences, our destination remains beyond the road. ABOUT THE AUTHORJ.T.

He has taught courses in psychology at the University of Maine and Eastern Maine Community College, and has had a twenty-five year career in education as a guidance counselor.In addition to literary pursuits, J.T. is an active musician who has performed since his days in high school, where he sang doo-wop with fellow crooners in the Philadelphia based quartet, the Violators.
