    About this series

    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.

      The work comprises selections that speak of humor, romance, and observation of the human condition. Connectedness, love of family, children, and ordinary beauty is subject that is conveyed with enlightened purpose in singular uninventive language. Title of the book was taken from Irish tradition dating back to the early 19th century. Significance of placing candles in the window meant as a symbol to travelers they are welcomed company. It can be said, poets are dreamers. I would not argue. So too must the business of a poet hold substance. Purpose and merit held for inspection for transparency of thought and the grappling of universal truths. A poem should not need long study and lenghty interpretation. Someone said all poems are but a draft of another. Their meaning and ultimate goal: to move the human heart. The world shall say that you are a poet.
