I have had several poetry chapbooks published. Excerpts from their introductions: "Magic Lamp, Pillar and Comet" alludes to the many facets that life can take on. These poems explore some of those varied angles. Poetry can distill our thoughts and act as a companion through the navigation of life’s many dimensions. "Memory Echoes" was created as poetic memoir. Examining the past through poetry helps to ground the present by putting things into perspective and clarifying what is truly important. Even small bits of history can provide insight into relationships, whether humorous or more serious.
