Since the first ambition I had for publishing was on a platform like this I've listed many efforts over the years. There's nothing to hide. A few I am, if not ashamed of, wary of. "Oh brother, you can do so much better!" But then we are human aren't we. I didn't view poetry as "entertainment" exactly but it has to enact well. That's all I insisted on and I didn't follow any proscribed way

somewhere. It never stays the same. We have the illusion that it stays forever the way we experience it, but that is quite wrong
when you look at history.
Well, we are here in this little space. So be it. Let us make the best of it.
We are taken out to the great stars where we began.
Yet there are oceans and mountains. There is the body itself. There is the comfort of the rhythmic climates. And we love so
much. We have surrendered so much. We have let go of so much.
