About the Book

Time lives with opportunity, in cadence with this recent poetry. The days are inquisitive with evanescent words, as well as faultlines that disturb hope. With the loss of my wife in life, I am left with fractured and mourning verbs, the poetry a part of our inclusiveness and a dedication to our togetherness. The days since have been supported by my children – Kim and husband Jeff, Copper and daughter Sarah. The poems are filled with observations of nature, the seasons, aging, history, and even politics and word plays.
