    Gerald M. Weinberg

    Gerald M. Weinberg (Jerry) writes "nerd novels," such as The Aremac Project, Aremac Power, First Stringers, Second Stringers, The Hands of God, Freshman Murders, and Mistress of Molecules—about how brilliant people produce quality work. His novels may be found as eBooks at or on Kindle. Before taking up his science fiction career, he published books on human behavior, including Weinberg on Writing: The Fieldstone Method, The Psychology of Computer Programming, Perfect Software and Other Fallacies, and an Introduction to General Systems Thinking. He also wrote books on leadership including Becoming a Technical Leader, The Secrets of Consulting (Foreword by Virginia Satir), More Secrets of Consulting, and the four-volume Quality Software Management series. He incorporates his knowledge of science, engineering, and human behavior into all of writing and consulting work (with writers, hi-tech researchers, and software engineers). Early in his career, he was the architect for the Mercury Project's space tracking network and designer of the world's first multiprogrammed operating system. Winner of the Warnier Prize and the Stevens Award for his writing on software quality, he is also a charter member of the Computing Hall of Fame in San Diego and the University of Nebraska Hall of Fame. The book, The Gift of Time (Fiona Charles, ed.) honors his work for his 75th birthday. His website and blogs may be found at http://www.geraldmweinberg.com.

      Love Poems After Fifty Years

      Preface

      Dani and I are now in our fiftieth year of our marriage. This book celebrates those fifty wonderful, passionate, remarkable years.

      Early in 1960, I was divorced from my first wife. We had four children–daughter Quincy, and sons, Chris, Nick, and John Keats. When I first met Dani in September of 1960, I was immersed in emotional turmoil over losing my family. I had always believed we were bonded until death do us part, but to my shock, my first wife thought differently. Indeed, my turmoil was so great that I began writing poetry, something I had not attempted since college.

      I've divided this little book into three sections: before the divorce, after the divorce, and after meeting Dani. Looking over the poems in each section, with the perspective of time, I can now understand my own poems better than I could then.
