This Luminous : New and Selected Poems

From the vast complexities of a world in which synesthesia is our natural translator, the author's poems convey the consistent message that the ordinary isn't. Selected from books and chapbooks covering almost thirty years of writing, the author's work draws heavily from landscapes like the Gulf Coast, the sciences, history, and the author's background in visual arts. Details of perception and observation demonstrate why these reflective works, often dense with images and intuitive jumps, have received national and international recognition.
