A Stone Blessing

A stunning first book of spirit-lifting poems using the Sonoran desert as environmental backdrop. The 28 poems are divided into six sections and vary from short lyric gems to a tour-de-force long narrative poem. Drawing from, but not dependent on a Buddhist heritage of symbology and ideas, these poems ripple in the mind and expand after each reading like the wakes created by a stone skipping over a calm pond. Complete with a glossary of terms that may be unfamiliar to readers.
