Of Dust and Soul

About the Book

Assorted poems from the past twelve years. Writings range from the mundane to the realms of the spirits, from the depths of despair to unbridled joy and exuberant hope, from rule to irreverence. Always with disconcerting honesty, the words reveal a dangerously simple and personal philosophy. They explore the muddy nexus of love, belief, and emotion without reverting to known platitude. From death and after-death to the sweetness of a child’s presence, the alert reader will glimpse the revealed soul.
