Hidden Doorways and Small Escapes

Poems range form the serious contemplation of loss, betrayal, and inevitable death to whimsical reflections on irritable geese and chum-casting media and politicians. But what they all have in common is the quality of fresh observation of common experiences, careful critical inspection of meaning, and the love of language.

This is a book of poems, poems gathered from a long life of experiences. Poems include large day to day concerns such as growing old, friends dying to the small daily observations such as the first hints of light in the morning, the futile efforts of a pair of geese attacking cars as they whizz by their nest. Some are poems about the gods and how it might be to be "beloved of Zeus". Many of the poems are about the struggle of self and the ego. It is a truly eclectic collection.
