| The poems listed here by title are selected from both my published and unpublished poems for your general enjoyment. I hope they open doors of reflection for you, and perhaps serve as invitations to write some yourself. By way of encouragement, I remind you of William Carlos Williams’ striking claim (slightly edited to make it gender-neutral): “It is difficult to get the news from poems, yet people die every day for lack of what is found there.” I don’t make that claim for my poems in particular, but I do offer it as an encouragement to read and write poetry, let it take you by surprise, and lead you to what may be found there. | |
