Emotional Fissures

This collection represents a nine-year span (2000-9) in which its author experienced the following: a broken longstanding soulmate relationship, two car accidents, principal job/housing loss, sibling death and multiple karmic obligations played out in a continuous pattern of difficult decisions, processing and release of past and present life trauma. The breadth of subject matter is diverse and utterly personal. With no intimate support system, poetry became his confidant, creative outlet and emotional vent. The results are a cathartic landscape of intense pain and quiet suffering leading to deep introspection and spiritual transformation.
