“Enharmonics,” a fairly long poem, focuses on Glenn Gould’s connection with Bach’s Goldberg Variations.
from the poem:

           The fragile thread of self
to other holds seam as long as it can –
and then the tearing free – so much
to mean beyond the words.

“Mixed Metaphors” grew from my lifelong obsession with impossibility.

“The Heron, Standing” is purely autobiographical, based on two distinct images of one bird.
