It is time for us to choose our response to crisis
During this recent and unprecedented time around the world, I have been reflecting on my own responses to the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic and what I can do as a response. I am in the process of writing something but am holding off for a couple more days while I give it time to ferment. This […]

Exploration of a Poem: Poles
I am not sure if other poets explore their poetry in this way but I am not other poets and certainly not one to follow the status quo. So I thought that it might be fun to provide a little bit of background and exploration of some of the poems to be released in Phoenix […]

Every now and then reality bites and stings hard and fast. Before you know it, you’re slipping down that memory mudslide full throttle with no brake and you’ve had the wind knocked out of you. This happened to me just a few minutes ago. I had a moment when I was re-experiencing a creative work […]

Heat
It’s not my fault, she implores as she flings herself across the tinder licking up the final drips of moisture, crying over every molecule ignited by her rage as her heart burns the land, leaving a sepia stain on the sky. I didn’t want to do this, she screams as her fingers instinctively […]

Unafraid
I was fearless once. When my words spilled out recklessly, wild, untended – a garden let loose. Nothing else mattered but the words as they grew from my deep and flowered, majestic in their exuberance. For many sleeps my garden has been fallow… left to a seedless season until the rain started and […]
