These poems use trans-cultural narratives to address current issues of
our country and the world, and of the poet's own life and times. In a
variety of forms and shapes--sestinas, haikus, free verse, blues and
ballads, myths and memory--they carry the narrative thread through the
pulse of beginnings, change, and continuance. Both local and far-flung,
these poems are meant to be heard, enjoyed, and carried into the
reader's own life.
