Prologue
I have decided that my early poems were concerned about how
things go in cirlces and never get any better. Kind of like that quote
about people condemned to repeat the past. Then with my
chapbook I reached a "transistion" where objects were changing
into other objects, and things were moving on from the cycle. This
led to my views on various aspects of love in my fourth chapbook
and to peace in the on-line chapbook. After all, peace and love are
the same. This led me to the idea of the merging where opposites
now merge and co-verge, making new things. This will be my next
book. Along the way it has brought me to look at the simple life and
this took me to grief, forgiveness, reconciliation, and redemption,
which still goes back to love.
I am starting to get a clear vision of where to go.
