Poetry

Poetry is a solace and, sometimes, refuge for me. My process tends toward the spontaneous, such that I do not typically edit much the poems that flow through me. Maybe just tweak around the edges or eliminate a line or two.

When I have a fair number, I will gather the fledgling poems together into a book to share with family, friends, and the world. All three of my poetry books are available on amazon.com and at the local bookstore in Keene, New Hampshire, USA.

Poetry Reading 8/23/25

Reading from my newest poetry book: Heart of the Universe 21 & the Tower at Toadstool Bookstore, Keene, NH, USA on August 23, 2025. Joined by poet and friend Gregg Orfici, who read from his poetry book: Rattle of the Sun.

Grateful to Toadstool for all they do to support local authors in the Monadnock region and beyond. And to the friends and family who showed up on that sunny summer day.
