    About this ebook

    A Living House is a contemporary collection of seventy four new and selected poems. 2011-2013. Final four selections comprise reflections of living in Hawaii twenty five years. Body of work touches on a connection of subjects from longing and loss, friendship, appreciation of beauty, the love of a child, and humorous observation of the human condition.

    Knowingly or otherwise, it becomes aim of a poet to wrestle with history of family issues, contemporary life, finality of death, identity, and for many a quest to write about what poetry is, why it matters, and where every lover of verse seems to find themselves: galloping along in a growing and wondrous world of learned uncertainty.
