I’m thrilled that Shadow Light has been published by Fomite Press.

​

​A sense of place is critical to me. I take a few moments to synch with the natural world wherever I am. This book of poetry is flush with the core of several places - and the people who live there - that have been central to me over the years.

​

My inspiration comes from closely watching the natural world. Like down on my knees on damp spring ground to eyeball the unfathomable beauty of a Bird foot violet. 

​Like eyeballing the delicate teeth of rime ice on an empty milkweed pod. Like watching wind hurl treetops in a hedgerow. Or stopping to admire a dandelion that has muscled its way through compost to bloom in the light. ​

In Shadow Light’s poems, I explore parallels between the natural world and the human experience: symmetry yet randomness, predictability yet uncertainty, astounding beauty and breathtaking destruction. ​ Sometimes explanation, other times conclusion, always illuminating.​

My poems have appeared in Sow’s Ear Poetry Review, qarttsiluni, the Portland Sunday Telegram, Off the Coast, and other publications.
