Before the word was spoken, before the dream took shape, there was a silence so complete it trembled with unborn worlds. You stand at the threshold now, hands full of wanting, heart heavy with hunger, mind ablaze with vision. But know this— creation is not a game of getting. It is the dance between darkness and dawn, between the sculptor and the stone, between your small will and the infinite current that moves through all things. These poems are maps to the territory within— where thoughts become things, where shadows teach as much as light, where manifestation reveals itself not as ...

A reader can expect speakers and themes which ...

In memory of lives spent and lives cut short during the plague years of the 90’s, words come to the edge of ground broken and spill like tears to both mourn and comfort. When age takes its toll, we embrace it. But when the young are taken with no apology or succor, verses seem hollow and depleted.
