I am delighted to announce the forthcoming release of my book of poems, The Grace of Falling Things, from Grayson Books. It is now available for pre-order from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and the publisher (graysonbooks.com) and will release on December 2 to be available in local bookstores as well.

I am deeply grateful for these words from the poet Jennifer Franklin which may tell you what you need to know about the book: “A tapestry of elegy and ekphrasis, these poems investigate grief, loss, faith, philosophy, and love.

These are poems of close attention, akin to prayer. In a world where we are faced with so much that is superficial, these thought-provoking poems ponder big questions, and embrace the realization that even though we may never have the answers, we can be uplifted by art, nature, and the important act of asking the questions. ‘There is only the falling and depths/ where green drips into nothing we can see.’”

The volume is enhanced by the profound cover image from the work of my late and dear friend, Mike Martin: “Woodman diving into the dark toward Shadow embracing the earth.” I am more grateful than I can say to all of you who have supported me on the path of poetry over this past decade of writing. I hope you all will enjoy the book and find within it some word that speaks when you need it to.
