Essential Tremors

In a compilation of work spanning years, this work offers poems that touch on discovery and miracle. It invites readers to see splendor in simplicity, to find transcendence in the ordinary. These poems are accessible. One need not fear the word "poetry." Think of each work as an episode or a conversation. Imagine each page as an opportunity. The book has three sections: Still Lives, Cries and Whispers, and Evening Shadows. The first is like a series of still-life photos; the second portrays laments and challenges of our times, the last reflects on aging and end-of-life scenes. Taken together, these poems entertain, celebrate, mourn, and hope. Their words and images shimmer and resonate.
