About

A poet considers the intersections of language and numbers, connections between disparate entities – the currents stirring within the Phoenician iteration of our letter M and the Japanese character for water, mizu, or the intertwined strands of solar wind and shadows, black-chinned hummingbirds and  coastal death rituals – all, of course, while contemplating good food and that most magnificent of elixirs, beer, which may have been the very foundation of civilization. Or not.

  9. Thanks for visiting and liking my moan about book titles – I am now elbow deep in galley proofs! I really like Apricot Wood the way it starts grounded in something so practical and then moves to a place where infinite possibilites unfold in the mind – good to read it as I sit in the sort of gloom that only the British isles in November can achieve!

  11. Thank you for checking out my blog!! I read two of your entries all the way through, “Letter from Kansas” and “Not Your Mama’s Carnitas…” I find it ironic that bison makes an appearance in each…one as an observance, the other as a meal! I like your style.

  17. I’ve just had a wonderful time reading your comments section, a pastime I find very enjoyable from time to time when i can find a great one like this one was. I also like your poetry, but I think you know that by now, so today it’s about the comments. Read you later.

  19. Hi Robert ~
    First off – thanks for visiting my blog and reading my poetry so often. I do appreciate this. Secondly, I like your gravatar blurb thing…I like the way life molds us. I’ll be passing by here again – later this evening. I’ve had an terrible fudge making experience (I bought milk chocolate chips by mistake) so I’m off to remedy that with attempting a low fat meat loaf. Hahaha!
