Welcome to the Website of Maxwell Corydon Wheat Jr.

People’s Poet Laureate of Nassau County, N.Y.


   Everything in life can be expressed as poetry. There is never a moment that does not lend itself to becoming a poem, much to the chagrin of my family. I will write a poem in the middle of a church service, in line at the movies, at the dinner table. I have no shame when it comes to poetry.

Early spring bud walk

 

       Look for tiny projections

 

               vast beauty coming
