Author Description

From LA to Paris and back, again and again and again, this collection of poems primarily spans the years from 2005 to 2011, but while its final arc would take another ten years to find itself, it has always wanted to be a memoir in verse. Here, poetic forms, meter, free verse, rhyme, and prose conspire in the excitement and chaos of the author's life-to-life transitions and detours as a semi-ex-pat living between countries. Most have been previously published in print, online, and around the world. From "Postcard to Ailene from a Place in the Air" - How bittersweet to go home again and again, righting ourselves and ever leaning towards leaving. How some things are clearer from a distance.
