Accounted For is a collection of lyrical poems voiced by a multi-faceted persona negotiating the transience of self and the social and psychological illusions of time. Other selves are encountered–mirrored, intimated, drawn, or fully detailed, each opening a view to the fractures of psyche. Prayers, dreams, invocations, and meditations suggest a relationship with the Unseen that can breach the natural world with the power of image. Endless contingency and depth of vision characterize these poems, open wholly to the mysteries of life and death.

My Hand Upon Your Name is a collection of lyrical poems that confront and transform the loss of the familiar, placing us then, eye-to-eye with fear and love. There is an underlying compassionate energy here that recognizes our interconnectedness in all circumstances. Many of the poems render realities and dreams in an atmosphere of acceptance for life as it is, life without any clear maps or consistently perfect guides. The poems suggest discovery of an intimate kind of support that has no one name and allows for exuberance, kindness, lights and forms, a vase in which to slip a flower, a pen, or nothing at all—love for each just the same.
