Books and Publications
Here are links to books or publications where some of my poetry has been included:

- This wonderful book by Jay Jasper is more than just a book about the pottery he creates and posts about at “The Alchemist’s Studio” (a site worth visiting). It “collects stories across cultures and centuries, adapting them to his pottery with wit, love, compassion and joy.” My poem “Monet’s Lillies” was included as part of the narrative for the beautiful vase “Monet’s Garden.”

- Susi Bocks created this anthology from poems that were part of the “The Short of It” series she created and hosts on her site “I Write Her” (which you should all subscribe to). Three ha’sonnets of mine – “Sweet Little Lies,” “Out of Context,” and “We Can’t Go Back” – are included among the many wonderful poems by great poets in the collection!
