POETRY

Critical Praise
The collection uses nature for a searching exploration of the self. As Paul Dennis (Editor, Brickhouse Books) observes: “Each poem imbues every word with a vibrant power . . . drives deep into the self using nature as a place of reference . . . is masterful in its development of dissecting and delving into the human condition.”
