From a frozen lake to a summertime glen, and all the way back around to the questions burning within. Poetry for people who don't know if they like poetry.
The questions are more important than the answers, and frequently also are one and the same.
This collection dwells in the abstract and the practical, focusing on the metamorphosis of our emotional inputs and outputs throughout the turning of the seasons. From the frozen lakes of January to the dreamy meadows of April and the highest heights of August, all the way back to the beauty of October crashing down, and the rebirth of another year.
Throughout these inexorable changes, does anything ever stay the same? Family, fatherhood, friendship, even the forest itself — written against the backdrop of Grey Bruce, Ontario, these ruminations come to life like sunlight reflecting through waves crashing on rocks, and are best enjoyed — as the back cover has it — with a sunset and a scotch.

A handful from the collection. The rest are in the book.
Seven of one hundred and fifteen.
A debut collection that dwells in both the abstract and the mundane, the ordinary and the divine, the universal and the personal. As with many of the questions found within, the act of seeking is the point, rather than finding a conclusion.
Essays, features and occasional pieces.
