Collection of Poetry - And Other Works of Fictionby Wayne Jackson The Latin term “al factotum” describes the author’s best as he writes about his life experiences. Wayne Jackson is an ordained minister, military veteran, artist (abstract-expressionistism), and musician (jazz-sax), and he writes in all mediums (poetry, short stories, essays, drama, and novels).When asked what prompted him to write the book, Jackson said, “All my college professors, who taught me how to be a better writer when I already thought I was the best.”
