A Wounded Echo

About the Book

A selection of poetry, drama, and short fiction. The material is mostly experimental although rhyming and word play are important in the poetry. The subject matter varies from split-second perceptions to life long debates with inner demons. As life is the interplay of repair and renewal this work reflects that interplay not only in the selections presented but also in their arrangement as a whole. We start out confused but amazed and we end up somehow wishing we were children again. I hope you read the whole work and reread what seems confusing. Some of this may take some time to make sense-life is like that too.
