About
Charlie Finn is a writer who also works as a licensed professional counselor with adolescents and adults on issues relating to life transitions, substance abuse, and the role of spirituality when “up against it.” He has been married to Penny for 36 years and they live on 13 acres just north of Roanoke. They are the parents of two children adopted from Korea and Hong Kong who are now adults. Charlie still does most of his writing on a yellow legal pad, but, thanks to Penny, has now learned how to use a word processor and email. He glories in thunderstorms, flowers and everyday miracles.
Penny Finn is interested in the people who have been touched by Charlie's poetry and in photographing her family. She is retired from her career as a clinical psychologist, is devoted to their gardens and pets, and excels at making things, bridge, and trip-planning.
April Finn Holland graduated from law school, passed the bar in New York and Tennessee, and married James in 2011. The two, with their beloved dogs, relocated to Chattanooga where they bought a town house near the law firm where April practice corporate law.
James Holland, originally from Greensboro, North Carolina, was at the University of Virginia with April where the spark was ignited.

Journey of Please Hear
The history behind "Please Hear What I'm Not Saying" began years ago in 1966 when I wrote the poem just after I had begun teaching at St. Ignatius College Prep in Chicago. A Jesuit seminarian at the time, I typed it out and shared it with some students, friends, and family. I didn't put my name on it because there seemed no need to--not only did these people know it was mine but I hadn't the remotest idea of publishing it. In retrospect, I guess my vulnerability in the poem might have had something to do with leaving off my name.
I soon discovered "Please Hear" touched a chord in great numbers of people and had taken on a life of its own. Between 1969 and 1980 alone, I learned of more than two dozen publications across the country that had printed it, two albums (one of them British: "Rosko Speaks") that recorded it, and numerous stories of conferences using it and people sharing it.
Here are but two examples. I was intrigued to read that one of the conferences at the 1973 Association of Humanistic Psychology convention in Chicago was entitled "Please Hear What I'm Not Saying" and decided to attend it. I had no sooner sat down than the conference was begun with a reading of my poem. And then there was the woman in one of my counseling groups at Loyola
