Publications

books

• Cross: A Story of Hope – Album-book by the band West Rim. Beautifully produced with photos, lyrics (some by yours truly), an original and exclusive poem (yours truly again), and a dream-like narrative that ties it all together. Large — about the size of a vinyl LP. And did I mention gorgeous? It is.
• The Sky Today: Poems + Prose – Chapbook (my first), 2023. 20 pages, including full-color cover. The title, and the underlying motif of the selected poems, comes from a half dozen years living on the edge of my home town, raising my kids and adjusting to life near the fields, the desert, and the ever-present sky.
