Pure poetry. Truly poetic. Throughout the ages poetry has been the universal metaphor for beauty and grace. Rhythmic distillation. Compression of thought. Poetry burnishes words. It polishes, hones and delights. It stirs, disturbs and clings. And I\u2019ve loved it since I could first think. I\u2019ve written poetry most of my life. Breathed it my whole life. I discovered Souster at age eight. The rest followed: Auden, Cohen, Plath, Thomas, Layton. The list is long. I\u2019m writing hard now. \u00a0And performing, too. \u00a0I take that as seriously as the composition. When I speak my poems the listener hears what I want heard. This site\u2019s a bit of a homage to my craft. Hope you visit often and maybe get to one of my gigs or shows.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25
