This collection of poetry, from the years 1979 to 2004, contains, implicitly, the narrative of a life....the poems range from intensely lyrical to poignantly simple to complexly philosophical, with a dash of savagery stirred in. The work exhibits both the intense passion and the comic distance with which the author confronts the business of living, trying to make sense of it in poems that can be understood. One comes to know here a seeker of peace who must constantly contend with the fighter within.
