Outside the Box, Poems

This wide-ranging collection of poems opens with an ode to Eros that challenges our most fundamental impulse: “funny/how we/evolved to/feel like gods/just when we make/men.” And it ends with a eulogy to a not-too-distant-future planet earth that has endured more of humankind than it can bear: “existential pantheons/echo now with folly’s stony silence.” Part meditation on technology, part exploration of faith, this collection also delivers fresh perspectives on relationships, love, and little slices of everyday life.
