I am happy to announce Gravitational Tug is available for order from Main Street Rag. Many thanks to Main Street Rag and Publisher/Editor M. Scott Douglass for bringing out my new book.
The collection draws from poems written and published (in journals, chapbooks, anthologies at home and abroad) over a period of at least twenty years, with some written in the last year or two, and continues my engagement with history–natural, social, political, personal.
As I have said in a previous interview (with Mary Mackey) I hope that my poems will connect across time, space, class, culture–something that celebrates or articulates or witnesses for others in some small way–and/or something that helps someone through its beauty or use, or both. Although I am not a Buddhist in the formal sense, I think that I see the world through “Zen eyes.”
