A Poet Engineer

A bit about me and the journey which led to the poem above.

I have written poetry throughout my career; It has offered a balance to the mathematics and rigid constraints of engineering.

At Exeltech I connected with the staff and managers very quickly, not only on an engineering and public service basis, yet also on a deeper and poetic level. Soon I was to be referred to as the poet laureate of Exeltech, wright before reading a poem in front of the company for the first time. It was an amazing and liberating experience.

Shortly thereafter I began to toy with an idea for a poem, Exeltech, the excellence you expect.

These lines lived with me for some time, occasionally getting jotted down in a new version. Recently on my typical walk, eat an apple lunch, the words came into view a bit more clearly.

I hope you enjoyed

Sincerely,

A poet engineer named Patrick
