Included here you will find most of my poems. I will add more as they are written and deemed to me to be complete--though no writing is ever complete, just abandoned. Huge thanks to all of my inspirations and mentors--especially Murray Scott, Charles VanSteenburgh, Rich Ives and Lolly Smith--and my mother, Claire, who gave me my first pencil and composition book and encouraged me to write something everyday.

Poetry is not something which can be rushed, it must be allowed to take root in the fertile soil of the reader's mind.
