"...Your luminescence drapes my face in sheets, like garments of light you shed, like the lights of all cities I will never see, I cannot bear to love you any greater, it would destroy me..."
 - Unexpected Guest
 
"...Filled with unexpected delights, these understated, tightly woven poems offer much beneath their deceptive directness. Full of taut, subtly rhythmic lines, they offer us a refreshing dignity, humility, and tenderness."
 - Jim Daniels, award-wining poet, fiction writer,and screenwriter
 
In Unexpected Guest no room is empty.  Life hides, peering outward with eyes "like birthdays."  It asks, as through an old window, about the living in outliving homes, the seekers in nature, the compassion in strangers, the sadness in love, the creative power in loss, and finally the secret longing for the human mystery that we carry always.
