About Walt Shulits

Walt Shulits is a retired bond market professional and lifelong paddling fanatic -- canoe, sea kayak, outrigger canoe and surf ski -- who stumbled upon writing poetry while searching for a non-sport activity that would give him the same sense of living in the moment as paddling. Residing in Provence, France he spends as much time as possible in his beloved Hawaii. He tries to write poems for the multitudes who find poetry as incomprehensible as Sanskrit or as unappealing as mountain oysters.
