The London Book Festival Awarded Banshees an Honorable Mention among Poetry Books for 2016. I am grateful for the acknowledgment of my work.
The Greatness of Such Space
Over the greatness of such space
Steps must be gentle.
It is all hung by an invisible white hair.
It trembles as birch limbs webbing the air.
–Hart Crane
Call of the Sea
Herons, pelicans, and gulls glide like dreams
through cloud-portals, cloud-porticos, and cloud-porte-cochères
Giotto could have done with his passion for blues and dimensions.
Hard not to love a place always called by possibility.
–Spencer Reese
Mountain and River
In my country there is a mountain.
In my country there is a river.
Come with me.
Night rises up the mountain.
The faint longing down in the river.
Come with me.
–Pablo Neruda
Ciudad Colon
For all those who have asked me about where I go in the winter, I am showing pictures of Colon, Costa Rica. I live about a half mile above Colon and usually go into the Centro for cafe con leche or errands sometime during the day. It is a writer’s paradise for which I am very grateful.
One Good Sentence
“No es cierto que la gente deja de perseguir sueños porque crecen viejos, envejecen porque dejan de perseguir sueños”.
“It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old, they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams.”

The New England Book Festival Has Been Kind
I just learned from the New England Book Festival that my book, Banshees, was awarded an Honorable Mention in the Poetry Category for best books of 2015. I guess I’m a local writer, which helps. I am grateful for the acknowledgement.
