Book Cover & Preview Text
Poetry Is Poetry is the conveyance of feeling. It should not be so entwined as to be unintelligible. Yet, it should not be so straight forward as to be plain. Therefore, the poet listens to the wind before writing. The wind, then, may caress the poet's pen To render it sensitive, but sensible. *

About the Book
"Mind Music" is a collection of poems aimed at improving my perspective on how we deal with life events. It is my belief that every reader will interpret my words within their perspective, too. Poetry is thought provoking, at best.
About the Author
I studied writing in the late 1960's at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon, taking classes from William Stafford, Vern Rutsala and James Liddy, among others. I earned my BA in Literature there, then went on to get an MA in English Literature fom the University of Southern California. I began publishing individual poems in magazines and anthologies during that time. I didn't pursue publishing until 2014, when I had my first book, "Continuity," published. Since then, I have published three more books of poetry and prose with Trafford. "Mind Music" will probably be my last.
