“The heart beats. The open heart knows
what has gone before, what harms,
what helps. The hurt heart turns
inward, then out, and without
ignoring anything,
applauds.”

From “Amen on the 4th of July”

”…through this book’s pervasive figure of the sleepwalker, this is a poet who leads us to understand that, set to words, every poem is the private truth of a dream." — Richard Harrison
